is it possible to commit suicide through starvation?

Question:

Answers:
Technically, it is possible to starve to death. That would take a long while because when deprived of nutrition, the body will first use up its own internal reserves, such as the fats stored in the body.

Between not eating and not drinking, the lack of water will affect the body more. As the body is comprised of 70% of water, dehydration will cause the cells in the body to not function properly. With that, the major organs will start to fail in their vital functions.

I hope that you are asking this question for knowledge's sake. If you are seriously harbouring suicidal thoughts, please do seek professional help ans/or speak with a counsellor. Depression is a treatable condition - through counselling, medication or both. Take care!

Yep.
