The Coroner is saying that he can't be sure that he wanted to take his life at the end, plenty of people go to commit suicide and don't go through with it.
I’m sure quite a few people will have died after deciding not to go through with it. You put yourself in danger when you try to take your life and some people will have had a change of mind but will not have been able to prevent it. How many times do people go onto a bridge and eventually get talked down?
Personally I cringe when climbing up steps without a wire around my neck, I’d hate to go up one with a wire around my neck and then try to get back down in one piece.
It appears like a reluctance from certain people to accept the harsh reality. Tho I understand your point. not going to get into an undignified exchange, its a tradgedy either way.
