Obviously the man committed suicide. Three bottles of water had to be part of the ritual. The sellotape probably was to be used to seal up the bag on his head. The extra bag from 7 Eleven was probably brought along to make sure if the first bag failed then this bag would be used.

 

I do not know why he didn't buy some sort of aerosol can so he could put it in the bag and discharge so as to bring about an earlier death.

 

God, this has all the ear marks of a suicide. I still can not understand why only falangs chose this method of dying?
