When you die from things you intoxicated its mostly an accident but still a suicide?

I guess technically you can look at it as accidental suicide, but I think it's a whole different ball game then actual intentional suicide.

Pixie Lott and Paula Yates like mother like daughter.

Hitler and Mrs Hitler both did the bunk.

Oh Master. Not only were neither of them suicide, but Pixie Lott is not Paula Yates' daughter. And she is still alive for that matter.


Good suggestions though.

Yep same as any asshole that kills many innocent people prior to their own suicide they are the lowest of the low.(some groups in my mind need removing though).
Sex slave traffickers,pedophile groups etc, I think the majority of murder suiciders are probably not in that frame of mind or too scared to wade in amongst those types on a mission though,its a shame, they'd go down like a hero instead of a blimp.
