Is hanging oneself a final act of guilt?
Think about it. Judas hung himself (supposedly) after betraying Jesus. Chris Benoit hangs himself after killing his family. There are probably more instances of people hanging themselves after realizing they can't live with the guilt of something. Maybe i'm just reading too much into it, but to me, hanging oneself does seem like a final act of guilt. It definitely leaves a longer lasting impression than a gun blast to the head or slitting the wrists.
Is hanging more a final statement than any other form of suicide? Is it more than just the convenience of not having a gun or any other instrument to kill oneself with? I would think it would be the most unpleasant way to die.

Suicide is devestating regardless of the way it is carried out..
But I have to agree on your theory...
Judas betrayed Christ, hung himself..
Chris Benoit betrayed his family... Hung himself..
Great question...

That sounds like an interesting evening! But be prepared to be taken to the psycho ward. Which could be even more fun covered in oatmeal and relish! Hmmm.... Just make sure it's oatmeal, cuz if it's cream of wheat, you could have a problem with boweevels. AND don't wear spam as earrings. Not a pretty sight after about 5 minutes, unless you LIKE ravenous wild animals.

According to the Acts of the Apostles, Judas fell off a cliff and died. Chris Benoit hung himself because he didn't own a gun. He put Bibles next to his wife and son because he was delusional with the myth of Christianity.

Suicide of murderers is usually a last act of defiance or control. The authorities do not get to put the person on trial, sned them to jail or execute them, the murderer gets to kill himself on his terms, not ours.
I guess it is a 'visible' way of killing yourself, but it probably takes a bit less courage than putting a knife or gun to your body.
If you do it right it can be painless - the neck snaps and puts the person into rapid shock and death. Get it wrong and you asphyxiate over the next 10 minutes.

It was recently discovered that Judas was the closest Apostle to Jesus and the negativity that we originally attached to Judas was made up by Judaism as a measure to steer people away from Christianity. And we are supposed to believe that Judas hung himself? Don't believe everything that religion tells you because they will lie.

Chris Benoit was suffering from some serious steroid-induced psychosis, no doubt about it. And they say wrestlers don't use the stuff.

Hanging ends everything for that person. Settlement of issues is unknown. Desperation is the final act. The mind is not acting "norm" No one has ever experience those moment before death and lived through it.
GUILT--DEPRESSION--ANXIETY--FEAR--DESPERATION
One thing that happens for sure--there is no HOPE

I think you are reading too much into it. It's another way to commit suicide. God bless the people who took their lives and the family they left behind.

it is a most grusome death, and gruesome to discover. I was unfortunate enough to be one to discover a hanging- my own sweet man. So awful. He used to say to me that hanging means "game over"
