Others might think: Everything happens for a reason; it's part of God's plan. Therefore suicide was deserved.
And how about this?: If the person wants to die, for whatever reason, who are we to deny them their decision? So it's deserved in that sense.

Villages Pl: In all due respect each of the examples you cite make it clear that there will be obvious consequences. Suicide conjectures up most emotion and concern because we know the individual is suffering mentally. However they clearly understand the consequences of their act. Do you recall the movie "They Shoot Horses don't They". My very best friend committed suicide by pointing a gun to his head so I do not take this subject matter lightly. Keep in mind that there are people who repeatedly attempt suicide until they succeed.
