In that case I would be more comfortable with suicide than an accident. At least then you know they wanted to die.

Is it less or more wrong for a person to pretend they died accidently rather than have an obvious suicide (with a suicide note, etc)?
I would say it is more wrong to make it look like an accident. I would see it as a form of lying to my loved ones, among other things.


But mainly I would say not to do it at all I've been in your shoes, suicide seems like an attractive option. I won't "preach" to you, I hated it when people would do it to me...but no matter how unlikely it seems now, something will happen eventually.
