* ''Rosianna Rabbit'' frequently did strips that involved the main character or her love interest Harry Hare [[SuicideAsComedy committing suicide as a dark joke]]. The very first strip in fact has Rosianna try to jump to her demise because she was humiliated from people laughing at her when she bent over to pick some money and [[SplittingPants tore her panties in the process]], her suicide attempt unfortunately [[BungledSuicide resulting in further humiliation when she's left hanging by her torn underwear with more people laughing at her]].

* In the web-novel ''Webcomic/{{Fragile}}'', [[spoiler:Severin]] has an irrational fascination with the idea of suicide after going insane and is found at the end attempting to slit his wrists; [[spoiler:or at least, Page thinks he is, but he finds Severin before anything can be done.]] It's never stated exactly why, but it might be because he's attempting to escape the pain of being insane.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'', [[TheDitz Larima]] [[GenkiGirl Torbern]] is implied to be this. She recklessly uses her power ''all the time,'' which only makes her burn herself out much faster (as people with powers [[BlessedWithSuck shorten their lifespan if they use their power excessively]]), and she shows slight DeathSeeker tendencies, such as placing herself in the path of danger ''for no reason at all.''
** [[spoiler:This makes sense, however, when one consider that Larima's little sister Taffe is deaf, and [[DisabilitySuperpower uses her power of air to hear]], which means Taffe is burning herself out in a much quicker pace - and ''will'' die before Larima does. Throw in the fact that [[DeathByOriginStory their parents are dead]], and we may have the reason to Larima's attitude - [[TearJerker she doesn't want to live without her little sister. She doesn't want to be alone. She's trying to pace herself with Taffe]].]]
* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' has Faye, a girl with obvious issues. It is later revealed that the reason she is so severely messed up is that [[spoiler:her father, who she saw as her best friend and in whom she confided everything, committed suicide for reasons unknown by blowing his brains out with a gun, ''in front of her''. He went outside in the early morning without realizing that she had gotten out of bed and followed him outside. Then he blew his brains out before she could call out to him. Yikes.]]
** It's also implied that the car accident she was in just before the story started was an attempt. Faye says that she isn't sure herself, because she doesn't remember the moments leading up to the crash.

* Red from ''Webcomic/RubyQuest'' goes for "the coward's way out" when he realizes the full extent of the damage that the Cure (which he was suspicious of and avoided consuming, despite originally recommending it) was doing to the facility. [[spoiler:He doesn't succeed, since [[MadDoctor Filbert]] had been secretly dosing him with it. He later tries it during the run of the Quest (presumably after taking precautions to rid himself of every trace of the Cure), and this time he succeeds.]]

It doesn't work due to him being NighInvulnerable and he ends up taking crap from his co-workers for skipping work.

** In the second arc, the actress Lüxia is drugged and raped by a married man and footage of the event is leaked online, branding her a homewrecker and ruining her illustrious career.
