carbon monoxide poisoning as a method of suicide is very lethal, many patients have high intent and are high risk so prompt recognition and care is needed
For many years (at least 20 years), new cars have incorporated a catalytic converter, which removes most of the CO, and has largely rendered this method of suicide ineffective. Or so I understand. But while the attempt may fail, it would reflect serious intent & be a significant predictor of attempts via other means.

No need for a car. A propane barbecue would work.

Also from what I have read high educated people(lawyers,doctors,executives) with high-stress positions and/or financial predicaments.

Educational and Entertaining!! I bet this suicidal method is not very common with people who don't own cars...
