Terrible! People who documented their own death

Ricardo Lopez was a 21-year-old American stalker, of Uruguayan origin, known for committing suicide before a homemade camera on September 12, 1996, after of confessing the macabre plan to assassinate the Icelandic singer Bjork, of whom he was deeply obsessed.

In his descent into madness, Lopez had left more than 800 pages and 18 hours of recording with extremely disturbing statements .In all this material he talked about his social, mental and self-esteem problems.He also revealed his intention to commit homicide for Bjork's recent relationship with Goldie, being the last video titled " The last day: Ricardo Lopez ", the most shocking.In him, with his body completely naked, I shave his hair, he painted his face red, green and black.Then, he ended his life with a shot on the palate.

Martin Manley

Terrible! People who documented their own death

Control when, where and how to die was what Martin Manley wanted to do, a sports journalist who ended his life with a shot in the head, the same 60th birthday.

Although his life was, in a way, privileged, and he was in full health, in his blog “My life and death 1953-2013 , ”Manley explained his reasons for why he would have the“ most organized farewell in history, ”which he planned so meticulously that he even left his funeral ready.

“ The idea of being in a home for the elderly, physically or mentally handicapped was the scariest thing I had ever thought, at least on this earth, ”he reasoned.

That fear of aging motivated Manley that on August 15, 2013 he will call a police station to report suicide.Minutes after the end of the call he said goodbye to this world, in his own way.

The journalist had been in charge of documenting in his personal page, for months, childhood memories, loving relationships and details about its outcome.He preferred to do it this way to “leave nothing to the imagination.”He expected his family and friends to understand his motives, without having to speculate absolutely anything.All the answers were there, perhaps so that like him, they felt at peace with what he had decided, because Manley He was very dear to colleagues and friends.

Edwin Katskee

Terrible! People who documented their own death

Dr.Edwin Katskee took his interest in helping others to the limit, sacrificed his life by injecting cocaine to study the effects of this drug that was booming at the time and was the most reliable local anesthetic at the time.But the man, without anticipating it, would be documented his own death in a report that in the end did not meet his objectives.

As you know, cocaine was not as safe as previously thought.We talked about a highly addictive stimulant that caused more misfortunes than benefits in its medical application.Clearly specialists were not sufficiently informed about the dangers of the popular anesthetic, much less had determined what was the "acceptable" or "tolerable" dose in the administration of the drug before prescribing it.And this was exactly what Dr.Katskee intended to solve, who died from an accidental overdose , during his experiment in 1936.

In what he was able to move forward with the study, he wrote a series of observations, like he felt his eyes slightly dilated, with excellent vision.Then, " Now I can stand up.Partial recovery and I smoke a cigarette." But quickly the physical responses of Dr.Katskee began to decline.As his writings progressed, almost nothing of what is reflected there ba could be understood.The letters intermingled, one by one.Except a paragraph in which he expressed the wish that his findings were truly useful for science, since he sensed that he could not repeat the experiment again.

And he was right about this, that would be the last time Katskee tried to do anything else in his life.The observations on the effects of cocaine concluded with the word "paralysis" ...a point and a resounding end to the aspirations of the noble doctor, for those who read this material assume that when he wrote it, he possibly fell on the floor.

Prasad

Terrible! People who documented their own death

Prasad, a 32-year-old Indian man, was going through a difficult time.He had invested almost all his fortune in a fraudulent business that led to bankruptcy In those moments of desolation, I remember a novel in which a murderer impregnated cyanide with the sheet of a book, with the intention that his victim would be poisoned by touching his tongue with his finger to pass the pages.

And so he decided that he would die, with cyanide.The difference is that Prasad would dilute it in water and document his own death in a letter addressed to doctors interested in the taste of this very lethal substance, of which only 300 micrograms would be enough to Kill someone instantly.

Prasad wrote: "Doctors, this is potassium cyanide.I've tried it.It comes slowly at first, then burns the whole tongue and it feels hard.The taste is very acre.Now I am convinced how easily someone can be killed using this " These were the final words of Prasad.

After hearing about these cases of people who documented their own death , we did not get out of astonishment, especially with the Case of Ricardo Lopez.And to you, which of these stories impressed you the most? Tell us!

The placebo effect is widely known, it is a cultural concept through which “magic heals.” That is, through suggestion , the ancient healer or sorcerer healed the sick; the same can be applied in medicine: to the extent that the patient firmly believes that the treatment works, the treatment works . To the same extent, and by way of reverse the coin is the opposite effect, as real as one: the nocebo effect. What does it consist of? If you think something hurts you, you're leaving to get sick if you go to a certain place, that is going to give you the flu because someone in your environment has it… surely you get sick, that doubt fits.When we believe negatively in something that belief ends up harming us, affecting really our health.
