Vulgar way of saying "he killed himself"

Question

I'm trying to translate my acquaintance's cartoon to cite it in an article written in English. For the subject of the article it is important that the translation will be direct, thus very vulgar (very offensive).

Is there a vulgar way of saying he killed himself in English meaning that someone died, but did not commit suicide nor was killed by someone else, for example fell out of balcony or touched high-voltage line (by accident)?

I've learned English for many years but I always have problem with understanding and using offensive words as this is not something they teach you at school or courses, so I will appreciate any help.

I can include the Polish expression my acquaintance used, but I don't think it is necessary or helpful.

Thank you for many comments and answers. I resolved from them additional requirements for this expression. It should be short (a short remark, like "He died.", but vulgar) and not imply the deceased person stupidity. It should only show disrespect in the way that you use vulgar expression making a remark about someone's death.

The Polish expression was Zajebał się. It's left not translated in Google Translate. The first word is from the word family of jebać, directly meaning fuck, and się is somewhat equivalent of himself. It does not imply death was connected with sexual activity, it's just being vulgar. The prefix za (in this context) means that the activity was completed.

Answer 1

An expression that gives me a not entirely healthy satisfaction and which I'll offer is:

He bit the dust.

It's a very old phrase that means "he died", but it just sounds so damn pathetic.

EDIT: This just occurred to me after seeing the f-bombs dropped in the comments. I remember that Tommy and Turkish in the movie "Snatch" use the expression

He got proper fucked

to refer to someone who's been killed. Actually, here they're referring to a rabbit, but the idea's the same. Urban Dictionary has a definition that doesn't do a whole lot of good, but it supports the idea that to be fucked could be bad, but to be proper fucked is terminal.

This term, to the best of my knowledge, is strictly British English.

Answer 2

If you're looking for something colloquial, and which does not imply stupidity, "he offed himself" is the closest I can think of. It does not appear to refer specifically to suicide here and here (look only at the verb definitions), but others users may weigh in on whether it implies suicide or not.

Answer 3

If the literal sense of the original is “He’s fucked himself”, but you want to avoid explicitly attributing the death to any specific or deliberate agency, you might consider:

“He’s fucked”, where the comedy will lie chiefly in the complete inadequacy of the expression to the situation.

“He’s really fucked”, where the comedy will lie in the speaker's attempt to raise his normal inarticulateness to meet the situation.

“He’s really fucked this time”, which will suggest that the victim is of a sort to whom such things routinely happen, just not quite this bad.

“He’s really fucked up this time”, which will suggest that the victim has excelled his usual ability to draw catastrophe on his own head.

Answer 4

A few creative options come to mind:

• He removed himself from the gene pool.
• He committed stupidcide.
• He died of jackassery. (This suggestion is a play on words off this TV show).

I feel like we can do better than this, but is this in the right direction?

Edit: OK, given what the OP has clarified, I add the following two:

• He gaped his maw.
• He fucked his skull.

These are not considered very well defined and are usually something you do to someone else, not to yourself, but it is definitely vulgar.

Answer 5

Okay... my suggestion may not be a "direct hit," but it might be in the right neighborhood.

I propose chlorinated the gene pool, or nominated himself for a Darwin Award.

• These terms are not exactly vulgar, but they might be considered rather edgy.

• They don't necessarily involve self-inflicted death, but they often do.

According to Wikipedia:

The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor .. [that] recognize individuals who have contributed to human evolution by self-selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization due to their own (unnecessarily foolish) actions. The criterion for the awards states, "In the spirit of Charles Darwin, the Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives. Darwin Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chances of long-term survival."

Accidental self-sterilization also qualifies; however, the site notes: "Of necessity, the award is usually bestowed posthumously."

You can read about a few Darwin award nominees at this website. The expression "chlorinating the gene pool" is used as a subtitle for this Darwin Awards book.

EDIT:

When I first answered this question, I was under the (false) assumption that the O.P. was looking for a vulgar way to say that someone had taken his own life through some act of stupidity. It's since been clarified that's not the case.

Someone else has suggested bit the dust; I'll add bought the farm, which could perhaps only be considered mildly vulgar at best, but is used to describe when a person has met some untimely or ill-fated death, not necessarily through some fault of their own. TFD says:

buy the farm [Slang]: To die, especially suddenly or violently.

It's not as vulgar as some of the other suggestions, but I believe it has a rightful place in the conversation.

Answer 6

The most vulgar ways I can think of to describe someone's death is just to describe it in graphic detail. Anything less is generally a euphemism to avoid, well, vulgarity. So, "he jumped in front of a train, splatted all over the front window and screamed in agony for a few seconds as his colon flew past his head" is always going to be more vulgar than "he committed suicide".
