This splatter for others to clear up is a main reason that Derek Humphry, the guru of ‘assisted death’ (i.e. suicide), urges against this particular ‘solution’. If it is employed in a hotel, he suggests, leave a generous tip for room service. Thoughtful members of Hemingway’s profession also give the question of mess particular thought. In Samuel Beckett: A Personal Memoir (2006) John Calder, Beckett’s English publisher, recalls:

One evening in 1961 when we met, the newspapers were full of Hemingway’s suicide and we never got off the topic. We agreed that suicide was the best way to die, but Sam’s problem was how not to leave a mess for others to clean up, while mine was how to do it quickly and painlessly.
