This death was published in the famous "Darwin Awards". The Darwin Awards were created in 1985 as a form of black humor. They collect the most absurd (proven) deaths that have occurred in the world.

France 1989
Jacques Lefevrier chose 4 methods. He tied a rope to a large rock next to a cliff and placed the rope around his neck. Before jumping, he set fire to his clothes and drank a shot of poison. He also jumped with a pistol in his hand to blow his brains out during the fall. The perfect plan.

The moment he fired, the bullet broke the rope. With nothing to break his neck and leave his corpse hanging from the cliff, the Frenchman fell into the sea, which extinguished his clothes. The water he swallowed made him vomit the poison.
The story goes that a passing fisherman rescued him alive and was able to take him to the hospital, where he finally died of hypothermia.

Jesus Christ. I wouldn't call that a Darwin Award, just extremely bad luck. Fuck.

Also, task failed successfully?

Interesting. Some of the Darwin Award stories turned out later to be not true, though most of them were true- I wonder if this actually happened. If you find confirmation in reliable mainstream media sourcess it is usually true,
