It's insane to me that there have been so many cases of black people found hanging recently and they've pretty much all been brushed off.

There's something wrong with the world when a children's entertainer needs to ask the country to bother caring about it.

Most of them do think, "how would my loved ones interpret this" though. It's why people leave notes

Suicide notes aren't that ubiquitous, I recall reading (and Wikipedia confirms this) that less than half are accompanied by such a note.

I'd also suspect that a possible misinterpretation as murder generally isn't a very high priority for suicidal people. At least I haven't ever heard about this sentiment reported anywhere (though I am not involved in suicide research whatsoever and only citing memories from documentaries and similar).
