	Freud was euthanised by a friend, which isn't quite the same thing. Also according to wikipedia, it isn't certain that Meriweather Lewis wasn't murdered.

	Didn't Sid Vicious OD?

	Aside from some of these being historically questionable, you really shouldn't do this. If you want to say that euthanasia (e.g. Freud) is suicide, whatever, but don't make a game of it.

	It was recently suggested that Turing's death was unlikely to be suicide

	I agree with the comments above about both Freud and Lewis. Voluntary euthanasia is not suicide (and is not the same thing as assisted suicide); and the manner of Lewis's death is clearly contentious.

	Was a game about suicide really necessary to make?

	In addition to the others that have already been brought up, it is debatable as to whether Jim Jones actually committed suicide or he was shot and killed by someone else.

	"Boltzman" has a second "n" at the end of his name.

	@all - I understand that the topic of suicide is not something trivial, and I'm sure that NJSB did not intend to trivialize such a touchy topic. A similar issue was brought up on one of Hejman's over-under quizzes (history, I believe), which made reference to historical disasters such as the sinking of the titanic. Sporcle is a site devoted to trivia and information, and this is a history quiz. It is not meant to alleviate the severity of the topic, but rather to inform people of historical figures who have done such.

	Van Gogh would be more accurately described as dying from a self inflicted wound, he died days after the attempt.
