Suicide is illegal. There would have to be extenuating circumstances for it to be truley enforced though. If you pop a bottle of sleeping pills throw up and live and then someone calls the police, no one is going to bother with trying to jail you.

It is no longer considered illegal in any of the 50 states, however it is often considered a common law crime in that families of the "victim" may not be eligible for any financial recovery unless they are proven to have been "not of sound mind" at the time of the incident. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_views_of_suicide One thing that may happen, however, is that the "victim" might find themselves checked into a psychiatric ward for observation and will not be allowed to leave until released by their primary physician.
