What is this popular suicide agent?

Diazinon is an important organophosphate insecticide commonly abused in suicide. Its often fatal if poorly managed. Prolonged high dose atropine (at least 2mg/hr post atropinization) for at least 2 days is critical for successful management. I have seen readmissions a week post ingestion presumably after poor atropinization.
