| abstract | - A character is about to commit suicide and is stopped by somebody else Just in Time, sometimes thanks to the suicide note. Especially with bridges and building ledges. You can expect the Interrupter to be Talking Down the Suicidal, but not always. Regularly subverted: Any character standing on a ledge is mistaken for a jumper. Another subversion, rather more cruel, is when somebody else shows up Just in Time... but fails to prevent the suicide, and has to witness it instead. Compare Bungled Suicide, where the suicidee succeeds in carrying out the deed... but doesn't die. Compare Happily-Failed Suicide, where the suicidee is happy that they failed or were interrupted. Examples of Interrupted Suicide include:
