This is when someone attempts to kill themselves, and fails. This may lead to them trying to kill themselves again, or maybe they'll see it as a sign and go on their merry way. It's not Interrupted Suicide; they go through with it... they just don't die, for whatever reason. It may be because of some kind of immortality, or maybe the means they used weren't effective enough. People who are physically not able to die for some reason usually cannot kill themselves no matter how hard they try. If done well, this can be either touching or tearjerking... and if done badly, it can just seem like the writers didn't have the guts to kill a character off. Occasionally Played for Laughs. This is Truth in Television, Ate His Gun being a frequent source, although with firearms being the most lethal method, the great majority of these in Real Life involve drugs or cutting - the two least likely to work due to the time they require (which often leads to the attempter being found before it's too late) or due to the lack of knowledge of the attempter (trying to overdose on a homeopathic remedy, sideways cuts). Fake Assisted Suicide is one way of invoking this trope. Compare Interrupted Suicide. propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }); As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

Kanon: In Sayuri's backstory, she tried to commit suicide after the death of her little brother but didn't cut deeply enough. As she couldn't have been older than 12 at the time, this is probably understandable. | |

One special issue of Dylan Dog had a terminally ill man who, after selling his soul to Baba Yaga in exchange for revenge on the killers of his family, tried to kill himself multiple times to uphold his side of the deal, but the Devil continued to interfere in darkly funny ways because the man had sold his soul to him first (he sold it to Baba Yaga when the Devil announced he'd give him his revenge only when he would not be able to enjoy it). | |

Did he break up with them? Did he seek to distance himself from them? Did he try to get them to hate and leave him? Nope. He tried to commit suicide. He only failed because it is nearly impossible to kill the countries' personifications. | |

In the backstory of Hakuouki, Harada Sanosuke (like his real-life counterpart) attempted to commit seppuku after being mocked by a retainer who accused him of being a peon who wouldn't know how to do it properly.

This pops up in Ultimate Fantastic Four as part of deconstructing the Thing's Blessed with Suck/Cursed with Awesome powers. He's a huge, freakish rock monster, stands out anywhere, has to be careful about crushing anything he touches, has almost no sense of touch. In the 616 Marvel Universe, this is played for drama now and then but sometimes falls into Wangst territory. In the Ultimate Marvel universe, which is both Darker and Edgier and is earlier in the characters' timelines, he tried to kill himself several times but has not found anything that can break his skin. | |

In Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Lucy's failed self-poisoning following her rape by Judge Turpin provides important plot, in the person of the Beggar Woman, who is Lucy after her failed suicide and imprisonment in Bedlam drives her insane. The character in question winds up dying at husband Sweeney/Benjamin's hands, and his realization afterward of who she is leads to his killing his partner in crime and allowing his own murder. | |

Happens several times in the early strips of the "Suicide Girl" storyline of the extremely NSFW comic Sexy Losers, though she eventually does end up offing herself when she mistakes a handgun that she bought to protect herself from the lecherous Shiunji (who wants to have sex with her dead body) for a hairdryer. Things get worse from there. | |
