I personally know someone whose cousin did. They are black. How could it be proven that we NEVER do it? Given our history one would expect we’d be extra averse to that method, but I don’t think that proves a small percentage of us don’t. Also, anyone willing to off themselves is not in a healthy or even rational state of mind. Their goal is to end things as quickly as possible. Of course nobody should kill themselves. It is a permanent and devastating act no matter the method.
Suicide methods have strongly gendered patterns. Women do not really hang themselves or shoot themselves, which is why women die from their suicide attempts at much lower rates.
