    I’d say that the immediate effectiveness of a shotgun blast to the head means that suicide by firearm is harder to save someone from than from an overdose. Narcan is ineffective against buckshot.

      You’re missing the point. He wanted to die. He will find a way. You can ‘save’ him only so many times before he succeeds.

      Also, if someone wants to die, who are you to tell them they aren’t allowed?
