Great post. Really interesting, I have always wondered what acid would do to a person now I now.

I rather die jumping off a cliff than burning my insides.

Suicide, hell NO. There's no damn way anyone that well educated would voluntarily drink that!

The guy who drank the sulfuric acid was really looking for a painful way to die. Some strong chemicals cause an immediate reflex to vomit and can get drawn into the lungs upon inhalation. I think that's the reason for the significant damage to the lung tissue (not just the acid working it's way there). He did a good job of burning out his gastric pathway and respiratory tract.
For what it's worth: The woman who was killed with Draino, Liquid Plumber, etc. which all use Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH, which is a strong base, it's still very nasty and will liquefy organs.
I remember in chemistry lab in college how an acid would get hot and burn whereas a strong NaOH would make the fingers slippery while it was dissolving the tissue. Both would eventually cause a chemical burn; so we had to be really cautious around both acids and bases.

I agree with XbertroniX, there are some very evil people out there who deserve worse treatment. I still believe that the punishment should fit the crime. If you rape and torture the person who you kill, then the same should happen to you.

Burning to death, from the inside out....what a way to go..

Damn that looks painful! Why would anyone choose that over a bullet or hanging???
Great pics!

How much would you have to hate yourself to consider drinking acid as a useful way to check out...

[FunkPumpkin]

I can't even imagine how much that must have hurt. What a horrifying way to dispatch oneself.

I highly doubt she could talk after consuming the acid...much less breathe
