There's this interesting article about a businessman on his way to jail who faked his suicide. Most interesting to me is how the police started getting suspicious:

On the day that he was to report, Mr. Israel’s abandoned GMC Envoy was found along a shoulder of the Bear Mountain Bridge near the Hudson River with the message “suicide is painless” written in dust on the hood. The keys and a bottle of pills were still in the car.

When Mr. Israel’s body failed to turn up and the message turned out to be the theme song of ”M*A*S*H,” the authorities began to suspect he was on the run.

So...if your suicide note makes a pop-culture reference, the police are going to start asking questions. Note to self: If deciding to fake own death, don't write in the suicide letter "This wasn't my day, my month, or even my year."
