Summary
Straight to Hell looks at some of the most shocking and spectacular suicides of modern times, self-inflicted deaths by figures who were either famous beforehand or achieved notoriety by the sheer nature, scale or repercussions of their fatal actions. Ripe with human carnage, Straight to Hell is a grim catalogue of the sudden, often brutal deaths which constantly serve to remind us of our own fragile mortality.
