Tw would you say that a lot of people who take their own life didn’t mean to

Just cam to my mind as someone I know if recnely took their own life and when I spoke to someone about her. She said she believes it was misadventure and she just sadly wasn’t found in time,

But, short of jumping off a bridge they happened to be on, surely they'd have to consider the practicalities of how it was going to happen. Its quite hard to kill a human body.

I attempted suicide as a teenager age 14
I meant it
I wanted to die
My parents had divorced and both had new families with step children on both sides ..I was spending half my time with each family ,not feeling like I was a part of either family .I was lost and felt forgotten about .
I was very depressed due to the the situation

I recently attended a suicide awareness/prevention workshop and the person running it said that coroners will give an open/narrative/misadventure verdict unless it is very clearly suicide as they believe it protects the family. At the very least it means that the deceased's life insurance pays. That sounds clinical but I suppose coroners are. My uncle died by suicide following years of struggle with military related PTSD.
