Hi, we had a guy like that in the building where I was living in Paris. After he hung himself with a too long rope and felt on the balcony one story below (!!), he tried to kill himself with the gas from a camping gas canister, the gas did explode, he got burned (but still alive!) the fire started in the building and we had to evacuate at 3AM half asphyxiated by the smoke.
The neighbors were talking together "what could we do for him?" I answered: "SH....! Let's buy him a revolver"
