    Someone has to clean up the mess afterwards, so floating off on a cloud is much more considerate than the gun approach.

    Just make arrangements for someone who won't be scarred for life to find you no more than a day after you've shuffled off.

      The plan is to inform everyone before doing so. As you say no surprises & you get to say goodbye to everyone.

        Then they have you committed and so goes the plan. Notification and farewell is probably best with a time delayed email (yeah there’s an app for that). The authorities could even be copied to insure there is no blame and a timely visit from the coroner.

          I think it is a plan that a lot of people contemplate. The issue I imagine is that they become scared, physically too frail or just leave it too late to execute (yeah I know) said plan & mother nature takes it's long, drawn out course instead.

            Agreed. Most everyone is headed for a morphine overdose administered by those angels of hospice. Unless of course you're Barbara Bush, reject end-of life care, pour yourself a nice tall bourbon, and fall gently into the big sleep.
