The text states that you can't kill yourself by holding your breath.
The claim that a person cannot kill themselves by holding their breath is based on the physiological response that when someone holds their breath beyond discomfort, they will typically pass out and begin breathing again automatically. No reliable evidence indicates breath-holding leads directly to death as the body involuntarily resumes breathing upon unconsciousness. Thus, this claim is generally supported by physiological understanding. Web evidence mainly discusses general suicide prevention (without specifically addressing death by breath-holding).

You can't kill yourself by holding your breath.
Breath holding typically causes a person to lose consciousness before death can occur, as the body will force resumption of breathing once consciousness is lost. Web evidence focused on crisis lines rather than contradicting this physiological fact, supporting the truth of the claim.
