How is fatalistic suicide different from other suicide. Isn't that a double negative?

Fatal means dead. If someone died as a result of suicide, no matter what name tag you put on it, it's still suicide.

There's nothing unique about suicide. People have been doing it for centuries. Suicide is never glamorous.
Some have ended they're life in unique ways though but those are always extremely painful. Not popular ways to go.

Such as pouring gasoline all over themself and lighting a match.
Even THOSE people are not considered unique, just weird.

Some, have used suicide as a means of getting sympathy. Guess what? They don't get any. Suicide just spells out, that the person was nuts and they are easily forgotten, as a result of it.

The only way you could make it unique, would be to do something like tie yourself to a wheel of an 18 wheeler or rocket yourself into outer space somehow.

It would just have the same effect on everyone. They would simply say "What the ?????" "now THAT was weird!"

As far as the term goes, people are simply making a remark about someone who is a natural dare devil and is about to do something stupid. Such as: Jump out of a plane without a back-up parachute.
People would say, "That's just fatalistic suicide!" They say that before the person dies.
Dare devils are often called fatalistic.
