Lucy-Bleu Knight, the stepdaughter of Guns N’ Roses lead guitarist Slash, died on July 19 at the age of 25. Knight’s cause of death has been revealed more than a month later.

Knight’s cause of death was hydrogen sulfide toxicity, and her manner of death is suicide, the Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to the New York Post this August.

Suicide is always incredibly sad but my question is here is where did she the sufficient H2S to kill herself? What a terrible way to go.

Wouldn’t that be a pretty quick way out with sufficient concentration?

I believe so.

However when H2S mixes with water in your lungs it forms sulfuric acid and the H2SO4 will kill you but at a slower rate. Like chlorine gas mixes with water in your lungs to form HCL that will slowly burn your lung cells and you suffocate.

took a safety class on confined spaces and they tell you if the guy walking in front of you passes out then you are to immediately turn around and get out. there is no saving them and if you try then you'll be dead as well. h2s is some scary shite.

I took the same class.

H2S is some bad shite.

She must have been contemplating suicide for a while to understand that she needs to buy a canister of H2S and inhale it to kill herself. The chemical is highly controlled.

I mean why would you not just inhale helium? Seems way easier to get and a much calmer death.

first inhale takes out your sense of smell so you dont even know you're breathing it. and i forget the timing of it, but it only take a couple inhales to make you completely unconscious. its something like 30 seconds.

Helium is inert (non reactive). With helium you would just die of suffocation. You could do that with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and many other gases.

And that was the moment I decided to turn around and leave the petrochemical industry.

Yep, not sure if it is the same stuff but I know a guy that was working with 2 other guys and 2 of them went down the ladder and into a hole that supposed had already been sniffed. The 3rd man was about to head down the ladder and saw the other 2 collapse at the bottom of the ladder. He immediately put a big blower blowing straight down on top of them and went for help. Them 2 guys spent months in the hospital recovering and have never worked again. The only thing that saved their lives was the quick think of their co worker by forcing fresh down onto them.

If you suspect H2S you are supposed to wear one of these near your collar. Low concentrations of H2S, you will smell. Higher concentrations will deaden your smell immediately.

20ppm is around where you get olfactory fatigue. 100ppm is immediately dangerous to life and health, anything above that hastens how quick your brain shuts down from asphyxiation. I've had people get nailed with 120ppm and be a little nauseous, and people walk through a plume of 1000+ and immediately be rendered unconscious.

What's interesting about this is how she created/sourced H2S. It's not like you buy it off the shelf.

You mean I can't clip it to my belt or on the back of my hard hat?! How will I look cool if it isn't measuring the air quality in my breathing zone?

Exactly.

That is my question.

I would clip it as close to your nose as possible. The collar is a good area.

Never worked again because they are disabled, or never had to work again because they sued/settled for so many American dollars from their company ?
