Tldr: In 1970s Japan, Mitsuyasu Maeno was a Japanese pornstar with Ultranationalist leanings. He was disillusioned by Yoshio Kodama, a fellow ultranationalist and underworld figure, when it was discovered that he played a part in the Lockheed bribery scandal of 1976. Thinking that Yoshio betrayed the country by consorting with American interests and dishonouring the Samurai code, he decided to get revenge by flying a plane, Kamikaze style, into Yoshio’s mansion. Yoshio however survived because he was in another room, but Maeno perished.
Huh.

They don’t work if you take too many?

Lupe Velez has entered the chat.
Lupe was a glamourous Hollywood actress known as The Mexican Spitfire.
She had a meticulously planned suicide; a great party with music, dancing, and merriment followed by a dignified death. She did her hair and makeup, got into her prettiest nightgown, downed a bottle of pills and went to sleep.
Pills and Mexican food had her rushing to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Instead of being found in bed looking desirable, she looked like a junkie who choked on their own vomit. There was a long held belief that she drowned in her toilet

That’s an urban legend though.

My guess is that if you take too many you can end throwing up, saving yourself.
