10. Romas Kalanta
Romas Kalanta (February 22, 1953 – May 14, 1972) is considered a national hero of
Lithuania, and is the subject of several books. Romas Kalanta set himself on fire in a public
place in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas on May 14, 1972, in protest of the oppression of the
Lithuanian language, culture and people by the government of the Soviet Union. At the
time it was very difficult to tell the western world about this oppression, as the Soviet
government made foreign communications nearly impossible.
Up until the time of this event, foreigners were only able to see the “bright” side of the
Lithuanian situation—the side that the government wanted them to see. Kalanta’s suicide
was seen by many people, including journalists who visited the Soviet Union. The Soviet
government tried to cover up the event, but its story spread as legend by word of mouth.
This caused student unrest in Lithuania, especially in Kaunas.
Kalanta used fuel to set himself alight. Due to the need for secrecy at the time, details of
the event are disputed. The common belief is that he and a few of his classmates formed a

patriot group, and that they held a lottery to determine which of them would have to carry
out the mission.
9. Malachi Ritscher
Malachi Ritscher (Mark David Ritscher; January 13, 1954 – November 3, 2006) was a
musician, recording engineer, and anti-war protester.
Ritscher came into the national spotlight after committing self-immolation on the side of
the Kennedy Expressway near downtown Chicago during the morning rush hour of Friday
November 3, 2006, as a protest against the Iraq war. In a suicide letter published on his
website, he described at length his political convictions as to the Iraq War and his choice to
take his own life, suggesting at one point, “if I am required to pay for your barbaric war, I
choose not to live in your world.”
Ritscher’s suicide is one of only nine reported incidents of self-immolation performed as
an act of protest in American history.
8. Kostas Georgakis
Georgakis was a Greek student at the University of Genoa and a member of the Center
Union party, since 1968. In July 1970, he anonymously released an interview to a
01/08/2013 Top 10 People Who Committed Suicide In Public - Listverse
listverse.com/2007/12/24/top-10-people-who-committed-suicide-in-public/ 3/17
newspaper, in which he revealed the military junta’s intelligence infiltration of the Greek
students’ movements in Italy. Georgakis’ identity was rapidly discovered and, fearing for
his family in Greece, he decided that he had to make an act to raise awareness of Western
public opinion on the condition of his country. In the early hours of 19 September, 1970,
Georgakis set himself ablaze in Matteotti square, in Genoa, to protest against the
dictatorial regime of Georgios Papadopoulos.
7. Jan Palach
The Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968, was designed to crush the
liberalising reforms of Alexander Dub?ek’s government during the Prague Spring. Palach
died after setting himself on fire in Wenceslas Square in Prague, Czechoslovakia, on 16
January, 1969, in protest.
The funeral of Palach turned into a major protest against the occupation, and a month later
(on February 25, 1969) another student, Jan Zajíc, burned himself to death in the same
place, followed in April of the same year by Evžen Plocek in Jihlava.
6. Norman Morrison
Norman Morrison (December 29, 1933 – November 2, 1965), born in Erie, Pennsylvania, was
a Baltimore Quaker best known for committing suicide at age 31 in an act of self-
01/08/2013 Top 10 People Who Committed Suicide In Public - Listverse
listverse.com/2007/12/24/top-10-people-who-committed-suicide-in-public/ 4/17
immolation to protest United States involvement in the Vietnam War.
On November 2, 1965, Morrison doused himself in kerosene and set himself on fire below
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara’s Pentagon office. Morrison took his daughter,
Emily, then one year old, to the Pentagon, and either set her down or handed her off to
someone in the crowd before setting himself ablaze. Morrison’s reasons for taking Emily
and then sparing her are not entirely known.
5. Ryszard Siwiec
Ryszard Siwiec (1909—September 12, 1968) was a Polish accountant, teacher and former
Home Army soldier who was the first person to set himself on fire in protest against the
Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. He set himself ablaze in Warsaw during a national
harvest festival on September 8, 1968, at the Dziesi?ciolecia Stadium, and died in hospital
four days later. His act was witnessed by nearly 100,000 spectators, including the national
leadership and foreign diplomats who had been invited to the festival, intended as a vast
propaganda spectacle. A father of five from Przemy?l, Siwiec planned his self-immolation
in advance, leaving written and tape-recorded statements explaining his revulsion at both
01/08/2013 Top 10 People Who Committed Suicide In Public - Listverse
listverse.com/2007/12/24/top-10-people-who-committed-suicide-in-public/ 5/17
the Warsaw Pact invasion and communist Poland’s participation in it. His death
foreshadowed the famous self-immolation of Jan Palach in Prague four months later. It
has not been revealed that Palach knew about Siwiec’s act of protest, as the Polish
communist authorities vigorously suppressed any information about it, stating only that
Siwiec was “suffering from mental illness”. Although his act was captured by a motion
picture camera, newsreels of the festival omitted any mention of the incident. Although a
number of Czechs attended the festival, Siwiec’s death became widely known in
Czechoslovakia only after the news of it was broadcast on Radio Free Europe, two months
after Palach’s death.
4. Emily Wilding Davison
Emily Wilding Davison (1872 – June 8, 1913) was an activist for women’s suffrage in the
United Kingdom. It is thought that she committed suicide by throwing herself under King
George V’s horse at the Epsom Derby.
Davison was born in Blackheath, London, and had a university education, having studied
first at Royal Holloway College in London. She later studied English Language and
Literature at St Hugh’s College, Oxford, and obtained first-class honours in her final exams,
though women were not, at that time, admitted to degrees at Oxford. She joined the
Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1906, and immediately involved herself in
their more militant activities. She was arrested and imprisoned for various offences,
including a violent attack on a man she mistook for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, David
Lloyd George. She went on hunger strike and was force-fed in Holloway prison, where she
threw herself down an iron staircase as a protest. She landed on wire netting 30 feet
below, which saved her, however she suffered some severe spinal damage.
On July 13, the night of the 1911 census, Davison hid in a cupboard in the Palace of
Westminster overnight so that on the census form she could legitimately give her place of
residence that night as the “House of Commons”. Tony Benn, MP, once unofficially placed a
plaque there to commemorate the event.
Davison’s purpose in attending the Derby of June 4, 1913, is unclear. Much has been made
01/08/2013 Top 10 People Who Committed Suicide In Public - Listverse
listverse.com/2007/12/24/top-10-people-who-committed-suicide-in-public/ 6/17
of the fact that she purchased a return rail ticket, suggesting that suicide was not, on this
occasion, her initial intention. Film of the incident shows her stepping out in front of the
horse, Anmer, as it rounded Tattenham Corner, with Davison carrying the banner of the
WSPU. But instead of stopping, Anmer trampled her, knocking her unconscious.
Eyewitnesses at the time were divided as to her motivation, with many believing that she
had simply intended to cross the track, believing that all horses had passed; while others
reported that she had attempted to pull down the King’s horse. She died 4 days later in
Epsom Cottage Hospital, due to a fractured skull caused by the incident. Herbert Jones, the
jockey who was riding the horse, suffered a mild concussion in the incident, the horse
survived but with bruised shins.
Davison is buried in the church yard of St. Mary the Virgin, Morpeth, Northumberland. The
funeral attracted a large crowd. Her gravestone bears the WSPU slogan, “Deeds not
words”. She had two funerals, one in London and one in her home town.
3. Christine Chubbuck
On the morning of July 15, 1974, Chubbuck confused co-workers by claiming that she had
to read a newscast to open her program, Suncoast Digest, something she had never done
before. That morning’s talk show guest waited across the studio while she sat at the news
anchor’s desk. Her news copy actually contained a speculative report of her impending
suicide, wherein she conjectured she would be declared dead eleven hours later. She
placed a .38 revolver in her bag of puppets and put it beneath her desk.
During the first eight minutes of her program, Chubbuck covered three national news
stories and then a local restaurant shooting from the day before. The restaurant was the
Beef and Bottle Restaurant at the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport on U.S. 41. The film reel of
the restaurant shooting had jammed and wouldn’t run, so Christine shrugged it off and
said:
“In keeping with Channel 40′s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts, and in
01/08/2013 Top 10 People Who Committed Suicide In Public - Listverse
listverse.com/2007/12/24/top-10-people-who-committed-suicide-in-public/ 7/17
living color, you are going to see another first: an attempted suicide.”
She drew out the revolver and shot herself behind her right ear. Christine fell forward
violently and the technical director faded slowly to black. Camerawoman Jean Reed later
recalled that she thought it had been an elaborate prank, and it wasn’t until she saw
Chubbuck’s twitching body that she realized it was genuine.
The station quickly ran a standard Public Service tape, and then a movie. Some television
viewers had phoned 9-1-1, while others phoned the station to inquire if the shooting was
faked.
Chubbuck was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital and was pronounced dead 14 hours
later. Upon receiving the news, a WXLT staffer released the information to other stations
using Chubbuck’s copy, as she left it for just that purpose.
2. Budd Dwyer
On January 22, 1987, the day before his sentencing, Dwyer called a press conference to
“provide an update on the situation.” Many expected Dwyer to announce his resignation
from office. At the conference, an agitated and nervous Dwyer once again professed his
innocence, and declared that he would not resign as state treasurer. Those attending
would hear his final words:
“I face a maximum sentence of 55 years in prison and a $300,000 fine for being innocent.
Judge Muir has already told the press that he, “felt invigorated” when we were found
guilty, and that he plans to imprison me as a deterrent to other public officials. But it
wouldn’t be a deterrent because every public official who knows me knows that I am
innocent; it wouldn’t be a legitimate punishment because I’ve done nothing wrong.” Then
he proceeded “The guilty verdict has strengthened that resolve. But as we’ve discussed
our plans to expose the warts of our legal system, people have said: “Why bother?” “No one
cares.” “You’ll look foolish.” “60 Minutes, 20/20, the American Civil Liberties Union, Jack
Anderson and others have been publicizing cases like yours for years, and it doesn’t
01/08/2013 Top 10 People Who Committed Suicide In Public - Listverse
listverse.com/2007/12/24/top-10-people-who-committed-suicide-in-public/ 8/17
bother anyone.”
At this point, Dwyer stopped with his prepared text and called to three of his staffers,
giving each an envelope. It was later discovered that one contained a suicide note to his
wife. The second was an organ donor card and other related materials. The third was a
letter to the newly-inaugurated governor, Robert P. Casey.
After handing out the envelopes, Dwyer opened a manila envelope and withdrew a .357
Magnum revolver, advising those in the crowd, “Please leave the room if this will offend
you.” Those in attendance cried out to Dwyer, pleading with him to put the gun down
(“Budd, don’t!” was heard on television.) Some tried to approach him. “Stay away, this
thing will hurt someone,” he warned. Amid the cry of “Budd, Budd, Budd!” Dwyer put the
gun barrel into his mouth and pulled the trigger. He collapsed against a wall in a sitting
position, blood pouring from his nose, all in front of five television news cameras. Dwyer
was declared dead at the scene at 11:31 a.m. CDT.
1. Thich Quang Duc
On June 11th, 1963, Thích Qu?ng ??c, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, sat down in the middle
of a busy intersection in Saigon, covered himself in gasoline, ignited a match and set
himself on fire. ??c burned to death in a matter of minutes, and he was immortalized in a
famous photograph taken by a reporter who was in Vietnam to photograph the war. All
those who saw this spectacle were taken by the fact that Duc did not make a sound while
burning to death. ??c was protesting President Ngô ?ình Di?m’s administration for
oppressing the Buddhist religion.

I would like to think that I survived multiple suicide attempts, instead of thinking that I failed them.
During various states of mental illness, I have tried to take my own life. My first attempt was at
the age of ten, with a home-made noose that almost worked. Later that year I buried myself in a
snow drift and was dug up unconscious by my family dog. The point is, as a survivor of these
feelings of desperation, I can see how these people felt this way. When something hurts you so
much that you can't live with the reality of it, you want that pain and injustice that you feel to be
seen. I truly feel sorry for anyone who had to go to this length for a cause that they believed in,
and I hope that they are remembered for what they stood for in life rather than how they left their
life. :(

As someone who nearly lost one friend and a father to depression several times, it hurts me
deeply to know that people actually exist who honestly think that suicide is not only a light subject
to laugh about or look down upon, but that they can insult anyone who ever decides to take their
own life under any circumstance for any reason. You only live once, death is serious, and
it's truly a shame (and sobering) when we lose anyone in this world. On the related subject
of death in general, I did lose one brother, in a motorcycle accident. When somebody dies,
I'm not scoffing, judging, or laughing. In fact, if they made that decision themselves,
it's especially sad to me.
(Although I admit, while I could never do the same, I do admire the courage of some of the
protesters mentioned above. On one hand, they died too soon, but they certainly got their
message out. They were not a waste of life, or pointless to their cause. They were the loudest
voices of all.)
As for the list, I think it was well put together. I like the examples chosen, and I believe it was
certainly an interesting, thought-provoking topic no doubt. Funny to choose for a Christmas
competition, (yes I know I'm reading it extremely late, hah hah; I only just discovered
litverse this year, maybe last month) but a good read, and very interesting. To tell the truth, I
never heard of the term "self-immolation" before for using fire for public suicide >>; I learned a
couple things and a few new names. Some of those photographs were striking.

return to your lives of mediocrity
return to believing that your life is so precious that there is nothing in existence you would give
yourself up for
return to living a life of hollow existence, setting bullshit goals for the satisfaction of attaining
them, must be nice to know that what you believe is "right"
for once why don't you feel what these people felt
feel the oppression, the moments in their lives that shaped them into the strong, passionate,
powerful people they became, and embraced until the very end
feel what they felt seconds before they gave up their lives
could you imagine taking your own life? of course not, the majority of you are so full of
yourselves, so numbed down to the point where you can say "oh well they didn't have to do that,
there were 'smarter' ways."

Why not there be a top ten suicide list on a site thats all about lists? i kinda know where
your headed with that thought but really its just... You also mentioned your feeling hate for
someone you have never met, you almost make it sound like we should feel sorry for
these Martyrs but really people that serve a noble cause only need recognition and to be
felt proud to be the same species as. Its the hateful ones that deserve to be felt sorry for
for hate in whatever form is just minus for living. You wanna make the martyrs proud?
then how about try to spread your concerns from a more loving stance.

I am looking for a copy of an old 1950's-early 60"s black and white photograph, taken in New
York City of a beautifully dressed and done woman, face down in the top of a yellow cab after
jumping something like 30 stories. Bit the pisser of it is that she still looks so perfect,still wearing
her gloves, and her stockings, ans shoes unmarred, and her hair was perfect not one out of
place I think she might still have been holding a handbag. Just an amazing photograph, so if
anyone has any info please forward it thank you.

I really don't believe that you people should be judging any of these people. you obviously don't
understand the mind set, it is not pathetic or cowardly. just extremely tragic. you are not in their
shoes It is not your place to judge.
also just a side note, i don't know if it is accurate or not but i seem to remember hearing about a
study that concluded that the monk's body went into shock very quickly and that he was unable
to feel much of the pain

I really feel for Christine Chubbuck. She was so beautiful & I think she was just lonely. Who else
stays a virgin until 30 besides nuns & Michael Jackson?(RIP MJ BTW) QUESTION??- Anyone
here ever seen Christine's suicide video? I know her parents had the tape & prevented it from
being re-released...but what I mean is, if anybody here actually seen it on live tv when it
happened? That Budd Dwyer vid gave me nightmares for years,,,there was gallons of blood
gushing out of his nose. And Thich Quang Duc looks almost peaceful? while on fire!? He was on
the rage agaisnt the machine album cover back in 94.

I've seen the Christine Chubbuck video. Long time ago, like in the late 90's. I had just gotten a
computer and it was posted either on OGRISH.COM or some equivalent site. The clip really
wasn't that exciting. She said a few words, pulled out a revolver under her desk and shot herself
in the back side of her head. Her head immediately fell forward, face down, on the desk. The
scene quickly faded to black. No blood. No Guts. Nothing. Just looked like a woman with her
head laying on the desk. So for all of you out there who are dying to see the video, you really
aren't missing anything. The Budd Dwyer video is 100% MORE GRAPHIC and really worth
watching.

I've heard that if you're actually on fire, it goes to 3rd degree burns pretty quickly which
kills your nerve endings. So if it hurts, it probably doesn't hurt for long.

no, not pathetic. very strong. of course words are more plentiful, but suicide is very "loud" in the
hierarchy of things. of course, I'm not seeing some of these suicides as a personal choice,
rather it's a choice they believed would further the voice of those in distress. no cowardice
involved here, at least none I'm looking to point out. I guess I'm not really wanting to knock on
these people.
comment #59 about sums it up.

No. It was Emily Davison not Emily Pankhurst. Pankhurst was also a womens' rights advocate
