Suicide Note - Faked Notes

Faked Notes

Author Ken Kesey faked his suicide in 1965, leaving a note in his truck and fleeing to Mexico after having been arrested for possession of marijuana. When he returned to the United States, he was sentenced to six months in jail.

Hedge fund manager Samuel Israel III left the message, "Suicide is Painless", in the dust on the hood of his abandoned SUV in an attempt to avoid a twenty year sentence for fraud.
