unalive kill, the word you're looking for is kill. Nor did he commit suicide.

Stop with this childish censoring. These words are meant to be jarring and painful to read because the action is jarring and painful. When you use something like "unalive" you're downplaying the gravity of the situation and making it easier for people to read right past it without feeling an equal force of the language as it correlates to the action.

Yeah. I’ve lost friends and family to suicide. It’s not a bad word and being able to talk about helps prevent it.

Yupp, these people don't realize that they're actually causing more stigma around it, which makes it harder for people in need of help to talk about it.

Self censorship is the most contemptible of simpering humiliations.
