Klauber in a 1948 issue of 'The Baker Street Journal' in an article titled 'The Truth about the Speckled Band.'

If you purposefully cause your own death, you have committed suicide. Putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger is suicide if the bullet is there. It is attempted suicide if the bullet is not. Don't play Russian Roulette.
