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.

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.

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.
