How about looping a rope over the hook and hauling yourself up? Probably best to tie the rope so that the weight is taken by your belt (while hauling up), and then cut that bit of the rope (to coup de grace yourself).Originally posted by John S
However, I haven't figured out how he got onto the hook - a brilliantly-timed superhero leap from the overlooking minstrel's gallery, with the rope already tied around his neck ready to attach to the hook, seems a tad unlikely.
Or you could haul in a big block of ice just to try to confuse the coroner. I think the ice option is only marginally less likely than the superhero leap.
Myself, I'd like to go quietly, in my sleep, like my grandfather (not screaming in terror, like his passengers).
