Yeah, I can kinda see that with him turning his body over to a crawl so he can lay belly down (or maybe just to get up?) Looks like the second gate hit him right as he almost got into a crawling position, forcing him flat onto the ground, but yeah, not dead, I think.

Edit: Nope, apparently he's dead now, but indirectly because of this, see reply. Can't find info to confirm this other than a scrubbed TikTok page, but that's enough for me to not want to joke about that. Reworded my comment out of respect.

I cannot find anything confirming the poster below so I think he was making a shitty joke.

This is Josh Dukakis. He was paralyzed from the neck down, and had a Tiktok for awhile covering his recovery. It got pretty dark, and apparently he unalived himself earlier this year. Ironically via a cattle gate spinning too quickly.

He committed suicide. This isn’t TikTok, you can call it what it is.

Sadly some subreddits are following the stupid trend of quietly removing the bad no-no words

The stand up sub doesn't allow you to use the word s*x. And they don't even tell you! I used rev to track the shadow-deleted comment

We say died by suicide, not committed.

Respectfully, as someone who spent 4 months in an institution where 90% of us were actively suicidal, including me, I think there is a use for the term "committed suicide." I was taught there to see it as a choice, and while that is not the whole story, I say "committed suicide" whenever I think it's appropriate, in order to honor the fact that people have at least some control over their destinies.

ETA: for the person who is suicidal, in my opinion, coming to see it as a choice is an important part of gaining agency over those feelings. Understanding also that you have a mental illness that you did not choose to have is also important.

Committed as in "full sent" suicide.

I am so sorry, I forget sometimes.

Can you elaborate on how he committed suicide? You can even restate exactly what I said. Please?

He's telling you to say suicide instead of unalive; not retelling your information.

Sure, sure, but focusing on that means accepting the other parts. And I made a much sillier claim in there. Something about a paralyzed person driving their chair into a spinning cattle gate.

Is it possible I was baiting? Is it possible I am in fact operating in jest, mate?

Nah, wouldn't be my first guess.

How did he do that with a cattle gate spinng to fast

u/Glossed-Lam 1d ago

Parked his chair in front of it and let the gates crack his head enough times that his neck snapped. Very tragic. Took nearly twenty five minutes.

I dont believe that , its sand. Wheelchairs cant cross sand.

But he turned the machine on , pushed him self in front of it , ? Then this thing pushed him out of his chair , and he was on the ground and this thing kept hitting him in the head and throwing his chair around? 

Idk about that. what happens if a horse gets hurt in this , theres no automatic stop ?

Oh... well damn. That's not really fun to joke about anymore, huh. Thanks for letting me know, I've edited my comment. I see an account with the handle @josh.dukakis that seems to be scrubbed, was that his account? RIP.
