    Do you think we’d be reading an article about this guy flying overseas?

    The goal is to draw attention to something.

      I’m not trying to be a dick, just pragmatic. This is the only story I could find on this matter, and I’m guessing very few people are aware that this even happened. I’m just saying I’d think long and hard for an angle that would lead to maximum results if I was ready to die…

      Killing yourself to tell draw attention to something absolutely everyone is aware or seems stupid. If anything this just draws attention to some dude killing himself in a gruesome way.
