I read a detective story with this subject. I don't wish to spoil it for anyone, so stop
reading now if that's a worry!

I think it may have been in "The strange case of Mrs Hudson's cat" by Colin Bruce.
Someone is found dead, connected up to some sort of quantum suicide machine. I think the
idea was to only survive in universes in which he won the lottery, or a large bet, or
something similar.
Colin Bruce has written three books in which Sherlock Holmes and Watson solve mysteries by
discovering physics behind them. The one including quantum suicide is called
"Schroedinger's Rabbits". I don't remember the titles of the other two; one of them has
Holmes applying statistics to solve the mysteries. They are amusing and generally well
done although there's one about a ship unable to make way in a fjord that is wrong.
