Real Life example I came across on the internet: there was an Alcoholic and his wife was'n happy about it. But whenever she started complaining about it, he called himself the victim - she doesn't love him, she will be sorry. As years went by, their argument escalated and he started threatning that if she won't start appreciating him he would hang himself and she would regret it for the rest of her life. He went as far as made himseld a noose and would show it to his wife, saying "see? I will use this to hang myself", but he never would, and wife got so fed up with this threat, that she started to reply "would you like me to soak it in soap, so that it would work better?" - It was clear to everyone that his threats were empty. So, one evening, after such fight as she was washing dishes, tired and angry, she saw the noose lying around and really gleefully soaked it with soap. Then she took some vodka and went to sleep. Before she fell asleep, she heard her husband saying "well, I'm hanging myself". "come see me - I'm hanging myself for real this time".
The next morning, the paramedics and the police came to a conclusion: the guy clearly was only bluffing, but eiter he passed out from beying drunk, or he hadn't managed to untie tight, soap soaked knot of the noose, but he managed to strangle himself with a noose, wich was tied ti a door handle, about a meter high - that's about waist high.
