Suicide Plan Stops Concert

ST. PETERSBUG, FL - The owner of a St. Petersburg theater where a band said it would stage a live suicide during a concert next month now says he won't allow the show to take place.

Hell on Earth is an alternative rock band known for it's stage antics, which have included grinding up rats in a blender. The group said last week on its Web site that a terminally ill member of a right-to-die group plans to commit suicide on stage in a political statement about euthanasia.


This brings up some interesting legal questions. Is suicide illegal? The band isn't actually assisting the act of suicide in any way so the whole assisted suicide thing doesn't come into play here. Can the police legally stop somebody from committing suicide?
