A 33-year-old Turkish man, known as the "Suicide Traveler," attempted to take his life for the 232nd time by climbing to the rooftop of a five-story building in Manavgat, Antalya.
Carrying a knife, a noose, and a plastic bottle filled with gasoline, his actions caused panic among passersby. Emergency responders, including police, firefighters, and medics, rushed to the scene to de-escalate the situation.
During negotiations, the man admitted he was extremely hungry. Officers promptly ordered him a shawarma (döner kebab), which led him to abandon his suicide attempt.
According to Turkish media, the man has gained notoriety for his repeated suicide attempts across the country, earning him the nickname "Suicide Traveler." Despite continuous rescue efforts and psychological support, he persists in his tragic endeavors.
"they can just stop trying to stop him if they want"
Thats exactly what I said in my first comment here. I said they have to either decide he's full of shit or send him for help. If you go respond to someone who's full of shit and pulled the same attention seeking behavior 200+ times, you're going to have to expect the next time it happens to be bullshit attention seeking again.
I'm not even going to bother with the rest of it because we are talking in circles and you already agree with my original premise that they need to either decide this guy is full of shit or send him to a clinic.
