    Sleeping pills? What, like he didn’t follow her home?

    (Also we’re counting deciding to kill themselves in a different way as “prevention?” At best it’s procrastination.)

      He doesn’t, but you see in later comics he’s working at the funeral home and… well… it takes a couple turns.

      Edit: For anyone who wants to read this specific arc.

      Warning: it’s seriously fucked up.

        Taking too many sleeping pills at once or taking sleeping pills and alcohol simultaneously can cause a deadly overdose. Many sleeping pill overdose deaths may be accidental, but some are intentional suicides. If a person becomes severely depressed, he or she may abuse sleeping pills with other drugs to intentionally overdose.

        In 2017, 47,173 Americans died by suicide and 13.9 percent of those deaths were caused by poisoning.9 Although an overdose can occur with a high dose of sleeping pills, a deadly overdose caused by sleeping pills is much more common when alcohol is involved.
