Yeah, twice.
First time:
>Local fisherman and dope enjoyer goes missing for a few days
>His sister, who usually keeps contact with him on the phone, can't raise him
>His dope enthusiast friends can't raise him through their channels
>Corps of volunteers are called to look for him
>I get to search through an old factory I owned part of, and rented out for him to store equipment in
>Go searching together with a member of the fire brigade
>Both a bit apprehensive because the man is freakishly huge and strong, and often in a bad mood when he goes on a bender
Turned out he had hanged himself from the gantry crane, and as we rounded a corner we see him hanging there. Word through the grapevine was that he hanged himself two days prior.
Second one:
>Was out walking a late night incel promenade on a trail not too far from a hillside road.
>Hear crashing noise
>Take a look-see
>It is a live actual car crash
>Call the emergency services as I walk over to the crash
>Mazda crashed into some rocks that had fallen into the road
>Driver is missing, but there's blood inside the car
>Passenger is a woman, unconscious but breathing
>Lift her out and lay her in recovery position a bit away from the wreck
>Go looking for the driver
The driver had somehow gotten out of the car and wound up in the ravine on the side of the road
I could only really tell the emergency people that I saw him down there, as I, at the time, was very fat and in no shape to go climbing.
Paramedics came shortly after and took over, but the police were busy and only called to take my statement a few days later.
I also saw a guy who jumped off a quay at a party and sank like a rock, and all his 180+ kilos had to be lifted out of the sea by a bunch of very drunk men. He tried to hang himself later, but he got found before it worked. Now he's sober, moved away from the bad crowd, found himself a family, and had a gastric band surgery, so he's doing much better.

lol why are all your buddies trying to off themselves?

>>2852864
Yes. I do Search & Rescue. It's just part of the job.

They're germs.

Can't rightly ask the guy who managed it, since he's dead. The one who kept trying said it was a mix of dope, debt and desperation, and he hasn't tried killing himself again since that got worked out. Maybe it was the same for the first guy. He certainly got into some grim situations that took some work to resolve, even after his death.
I believe in working through your problems and solving them one by one, but if you don't have the clarity of mind or don't see that you have the resources necessary to do that, I can see how a reprieve or an escape from them would be tempting.
Apart from those two, I only know two others who killed themselves, and another two who died of overdoses, and one man and one woman who self harmed.

I meant more like on a hike, not in a building :(

That picture is so fake that it's annoying.

Found an old dead woman in a ditch. Lovely person, used to talk a lot with her and her husband as they lived at the start of one of my favourite trails. She was an alcohol and her husband constantly hid the bottles around the house, so she'd sneak off on her bicycle to the neighbours a km or so away. On her way back she fell into a ditch and drowned face down in (barely) a puddle of water.

Common alcoholic L.
At least she was biking and active on the trails. Shame she didn't spend more time hiking though; it may have brought her peace of mind.

Snagged a deader fishing. College student went “missing” walking home from a party about 10 miles upstream about a week earlier, It was pretty gross. I called the cops and then slowly pulled him to shallow water. Had pics, but that was 3 or 4 phones ago and I don’t think I’ve kept a copy.

>>2852864
Yeah, he was hanging from a tree and I made a youtube video about it. People weren't to happy so I had to delete it. Oh well.

>>2852877
the happy ending is very appreciated

>>2852864
I saw some trucker drove into a river when i was like 5. Not sure if he's dead or not though, i didn't stick around

>>2852904
I think every group has at least one guy who gets to that point, some groups are more open about discussing it though

>>2852959
That must've been some kinda bait you were using

It's a male skeleton, you can tell from the heart-shaped pelvis
