These suicide scenarios recreated in [Lego](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-rollsroyce) are really wrong, on every level. However, I have to admire their creativity, although I have no idea where this concept came from.

The suicides featured include ‘gun shot to head’, ‘heroin OD’ and ‘painkiller OD’. There is also the sadly topical suicide bomber Lego recreation.

The attention to detail includes whimsical touches of pools of blood where appropriate, such as in the ‘wrist slashing’ picture.

Of course this trend is perfectly matched with the [Radiohead in Lego videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativity-workshops)… the job that slowly kills you
