Self harm on the wrist of the character who dies. Someone says it must be an accident, someone else says that can’t be possible because no one shaves their wrists.

Totally safe!

At one point a character is upset because a bat got into the house and says off the cuff “Ugh, I’m going to puke!” as a figure of speech. Absolutely no one is sick or anything close to it.

The movie is about friends coming together after a friends suicide, and the wrist of the body is shown in the beginning stitched up. It’s very early on.

Yes, the whole premise of this movie is friends getting together after a friend from college commits suicide. A lot of dark humor, although part of it is making fun of how little mental health was taken seriously and how insensitive the characters are, not necessarily making fun of the suicide itself.
