sorry if the insult sounded like a compliment–let me make it clearer: Have your head checked, because the cerebral cortex within seems to be malfunctioning.

Forgetting all factual details aside, what you said has nothing to do with the original question. If you meant that one must prevent someone from committing suicide in order to prevent him from being oveir ?? ????, say so without adding anything about a rodeif. (To which you’ll say ??”?, that part was unnecessary; you already alluded to such when you said you hijacked this thread.)

And as far as what you said: I’m not aware of anyone who says suicide is an issur of ?? ????. Secondly, even assuming it is, he wouldn’t be a rodeif–if there’s no nirdaf, there can’t be a rodeif. Thirdly, Wolf is correct. The Brisker Rov, and perhaps others, does indeed say there are two dinnim, but ???? ????? is definitely needed, as is evident from the ??? of ???? ???? ??????. Fourthly, there wouldn’t be a din to save him here–??? ????, someone stands on a roof and threatens to jump unless you give him 10,000 pounds, do you have to give it to him?
