I know there's not much reasoning left when someone decides they're done with life, but still have to wonder why go for such a convoluted and messy way?

And one that can harm others, both physically and financially.

Not trying to minimize a person with suicidal ideation - it’s a serious thing - but it also harms others mentally, from those who witnessed it, those who have to investigate, those who have to clean up, to persons who loved and cared for the decedent. It is such a complex topic, I almost hate to opine, but my heart always goes out to all involved.

This require an engine teardown or just a good flush?

Oh, I'm pretty sure it'll get torn down. Even those high-bypass engine compressor blades are pretty averse to ingesting FOD.
