The answer

It is forbidden for a person to do that which causes certain harm, based on the : "There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm." The principle is that anything harmful is prohibited. Whoever dies by such means is not considered a suicide, because their death was not a certainty. It is advised to consult psychiatrists.
