I didn't know he even attempted before saying that. The vast majority of people who try to kill themselves fail because they back out in the last moment or are too afraid to try a highly lethal method. This is motivated by our survival instincts. Just to be clear I am not encouraging him to do it. Suicide is a process that usually involves multiple failed attempts before getting the courage to go all in.
"The average number of suicide attempts before a successful suicide varies significantly by age, gender, and method, but research consistently shows that there are typically between 10 and 25 attempts for every one completed suicide.
The most commonly cited ratio is 25 attempts per completed suicide, based on data from the American Association of Suicidology and the CDC.
In younger populations (15–24 years), the ratio is much higher—estimated between 100 to 200 attempts per death"
There are a lot of attempts because humans are afraid to go. Older men have the lowest number of attempts. Young women the most.
