This is a fairly nonsensical question as Nietzsche died of pneumonia in combination with a stroke. The philosopher did become incapacitated about 10 years prior to his death due to an unknown illness which may have been Syphilis (as suggested by his doctors at the time). Late-stage syphilis can produce a range of cadiovascular as well as neurological symptoms. At any rate, this was the end of his philosophical writings. Between the ages of 28 and 44, Nietzshe published a significant body of work which made him one of the giants of 20th century philosophy, and one of the century's most respected thinkers. I think the questioner is confusing the philosopher Friedrich Nietzshe with his brother-in-law, who did commit suicide.
