Goodbye, Cruel World!	comment	The suicide note. The final explanation for why one is shuffling off this mortal coil, quitting the earthly sphere, leaping off to join the choir invisible. The composition of such a note - rife with anguish, despair, and turmoil - can take a while; this may, happily, lead to an Interrupted Suicide Just in Time. Maybe, instead of writing things down, the victim could leave behind a Video Will. It could even be part of the elaborate faÃ§ade involved in Faking the Dead or covering up a murder. In a murder mystery, it's often found to be forged in some way by our local Amateur Sleuth. The lack of a suicide note will immediately and in all cases prompt law enforcement to suspect that the death is not a suicide even if suicide appears obvious; in this case, the real cause of death will usually be homicide, accident, or natural causes. Not as much Truth in Television as some might assume. This trope has led many people to believe that every suicide victim leaves a note and conversely that if there isn't a note, it couldn't have been suicide. An approximate guess is that fewer than one-third of suicide victims in the United States leave notes, and the older the victim is the less likely he or she will leave a note. Whether this is because older people have outlived their families or because younger people have learned from this trope that they 'should' leave a note is unknown since it's tough to ask a victim of suicide. Younger victims seem more likely to leave a note if a celebrity has done so in the very recent past. In Japan, this may take the form of a zetsumei-shi, or death poem. It is traditional to compose one right before committing seppuku (so expect to see a lot of these in historical fiction). Even so, fewer than half of young American suicide victims leave notes, and it's only a very small percentage of them who leave suicide videos, so don't expect the lack of a suicide note to send the cops out looking for a murderer in Real Life. Outside of the US (even in Canada and the UK), suicide notes are even less common. Related to Prelude to Suicide. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

After her best friend Samantha sees the video, she notifies Taylor's mother, Kris, about this, and she, in turn, notifies paramedics, all of whom hurry to the Hillridge residence to stop her before she kills herself.

But the eagerness to get eaten scares Claude the Cat to the point that he can't eat mice anymore, and unable to perform his main reason for existing as a cat, he leaves the trope (with a PS that went, literally, "No PS") and proceeds to go draw a bulldog's wrath.

Goodbye, Cruel World! / int_2c15b0d3	comment	In Batgirl (2000) Cassandra leaves behind an audio recording for Barbara to find before going to face Lady Shiva, and it's clearly framed as a suicide note as a result of her persistent death wish. She thanks Barbara for everything she's done for her and tells her how she's been like a mother to her, but ends up deleting the recording, settling for a shorter note telling Barbara not to blame Shiva for her death. Cassandra is killed easily by Shiva, but Shiva then resurrects her to give her a better fight. This experience with death helps Cassandra regain the will to live and she manages to defeat Shiva, though she ends up comatose for days after the fight. It is never stated if Barbara ever heard the recording.

Uchiha Shisui "left a note behind" after his death, but the rest of the Uchiha didn't believe that such a symbol of its strength would actually kill himself. The others suspected Itachi of foul play since anyone with the Sharingan would be able to copy handwriting. Itachi later revealed to Sasuke that he actually did kill his best friend to get the Mangekyou. It turns out that Shisui actually did write the note. He had been on Itachi's side in the whole stopping-the-Uchiha-coup ordeal.

Goodbye, Cruel World! / int_388cf8f0	comment	Batman: Black and White: In "Fortunes", Batman and a private detective investigate a death scene in which a murder has been made to look like a suicide, complete with a videotaped suicide note in which the victim (a professional fortune teller) claims she has foreseen that she will be murdered "at the hands of a non-believer" and has chosen to kill herself first. The detective, who has already noted that the death wound can't have been self-inflicted, points out the oddity that the video apparently shows the victim shooting herself and yet somebody has taken the video out of the video camera, put it in the victim's VCR, and helpfully rewound it to the beginning of the message. The ending of "To Beat The Bat" reveals the entire monologue was a posthumous suicide note to Batman by a Mook who recognized he was just a loser who wasted his life getting repeatedly clobbered by the Bat and jailed for a Gold Digger who only loved the stuff he stole for her. With nothing to live for and realizing he's probably going to get the death penalty after killing a security guard on a heist with the Joker, he slits his wrists so he'd bleed out before Batman found him and read his note, thereby finally beating Batman to the punch.

Goodbye, Cruel World! / int_5ed710fb	comment	In Kind Hearts and Coronets, one of these is essential for clearing the protagonist of a murder (ironically, practically the only death in the movie that's not his fault). Of course, it's only after he's been cleared of the murder he didn't commit that he realises he's left behind a confession — intended to be published posthumously — of those he did.

Goodbye, Cruel World! / int_da861da1	comment	In a third season episode of Veronica Mars, Veronica is given a Criminology assignment of planning 'the perfect murder'. She suggests faking a suicide note from the victim, using a generic phrase such as "Goodbye cruel world", typed on a computer so the note can't be analysed. Shortly afterwards, the dean of the college is murdered in exactly this way.

Goodbye, Cruel World! / int_e1f8efe3	comment	I've Got You Under My Skin: Regina found her father's suicide note on his body and kept it hidden from the police and her mother, both because she didn't want to break her mother's heart more and later because the contents of the note gave Regina a strong motive for killing Betsy: Regina's father explained in the note he had had an affair with Betsy and she was the one persuaded him to invest everything he had in her husband's hedge fund, which he now deeply regrets after losing it all and realizing Betsy was always using him.

Goodbye, Cruel World! / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In the season 1 episode "I, Robot... You, Jane", the cyber-demon Moloch had a couple of servants in the high school's computer lab, Fritz and Dave. When Dave changed his mind about helping to kill Buffy, Moloch wrote out a fake suicide note for Dave on the computer and Fritz killed Dave. In the season 3 episode "Earshot", Buffy got the "aspect of the demon" of telepathy and knew that someone was going to try to kill all the students by lunchtime, but not who. They mistook Jonathan's vague suicide note (which he'd sent in advance to the school newspaper) for a sign that he was the one, and he was in a tower with a rifle, so Buffy accidentally took the time to stop his suicide before stopping the actual would-be mass murderer.

Goodbye, Cruel World! / int_f25115ce	comment	Wind, in The Legendsong Saga left a note when he drowned himself in the river. Glynn is more than slightly disturbed by the fact that she alone actually understands what he is saying; her soul is also a 'seeking arrow'. The final line was also Lanalor's last words before sacrificing himself to the Chaos Spirit

Goodbye, Cruel World! / int_f31d7d98	comment	Drawn Together episode "Gay Bash": After Xandir had to face the truth that he is homosexual (with the result that his girlfriend, the princess who he is perpetually forced to rescue from the clutches of his various arch-enemies, tells him to get lost) he tries to commit suicide, by dramatically yelling "Goodbye, cruel world!" and stabbing himself with his sword. Unfortunately, as a video game character, he is entitled to a lot of extra lives, which he has to "wear down" first before he can die. So he spends the entire night killing himself (and resurrecting mere seconds later, with the appropriate sound effect, minus one life) and growing progressively more bored and less enthusiastic about the whole thing, while the rest of the characters are vainly trying to catch some sleep. Who knew suicide could be such a chore?

Apparently the note revealed that she wasn't actually their birth mother and told the girls where to find their biological mother, information Phoebe had only just found out for herself in the previous episode.
