If you're going to end your life, you might as well end it...as painfully as possible.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - A Thai woman killed herself by jumping into a pit of more than 100 crocodiles, shocking crowds of onlookers at a Bangkok reptile farm on Sunday.

The woman, 40, climbed a 6-foot-high fence and jumped into a concrete enclosure at the Famut Prakarn Crocodile Farm on the outskirts of the Thai capital, a tour guide who witnessed the event said.

A crocodile dragged the woman into a pond and several animals swarmed over and tore her body apart.

"She did not cry or scream when she was bitten," Tanet Virayaporn, the tour guide, told Reuters. "It happened so quickly. Nobody could do anything."

Police said the woman had left a suicide note in which she complained about her husband and apologized to family members.

Hundreds of people were visiting the crocodile farm, a popular tourist attraction, when the woman committed suicide.

As creative a method of suicide as that may have been, it's also a pretty damn inconsiderate way of doing it. Imagine how many people (both adults and children) will have images of her getting torn to pieces by a bunch of crocs permanently burned into their memories? That's not cool.

What the heck?! I guess putting a gun to your head or slitting your wrists is just outdated now.

You know, must have been some really strong emotions in her to be able to not cry or scream while your body is being ripped apart, I feel really sorry for her.

I was there too. It's a pretty sick place. I was in the fenced off area and I leaned in to watch one get fed. I didn't notice the brim of my hat sticking a bit into the fenced off area, but a croc did. He snapped at it, scaring the shit out of me. He wasn't close, but those jaws clamping shut sound like firecrakers. Some of these crocs from head to tail are longer then my truck. I can't imagine a whole pit of them, jeez. :blink:

My friend visited a 'gator farm in FLA. where you pay to jump into a pit and wrestle the gators, costs 10 bucks. The gators are all drugged or something because he said it was like wrasslin' a baby! Anyway he said it wasn't challenging at all. Maybe he shoulda tried the Thai pit! That'll get your money's worth.
