Suicide is not against the law in the UK. It was until the 1961 Suicide Act which legalised it and introduced laws which dealt with assistance of suicide. Prior to 1961 suicide was illegal in the UK and was punishable by prison and fines (but not death!)

What are the outcomes of suicide?

death? or someone could fail the attempt at suicide, which would probably put that someone in an institution, or put that someone is therapy. If you are thinking of suicide, please don't do it. Think of the people who will miss you and the people who will cry over your death. You may not think there is anyone out there who cares but, chances are, you are wrong. I know if one classmate of mine ever killed themselves, I would blame myself for not talking to them, or trying to be their friend. Think before you act.


Is suicide illegal?

In some countries, suicide is illegal. In the UK for example it is also illegal to fail to prevent a suicide you knew was going to take place. Failing to prevent a suicide you knew was going to happen in the UK and some other countries can get you charged with the offence of "Assisted Suicide" or "Suicide Accomplice". Although suicide is illegal in some countries, the individual will not face criminal arrest. Instead they will be summoned to attend counselling and medical procedures to help them overcome the suicidal thoughts. However, if the individual continues to attempt suicide or fails to show for a summoned counselling session, a warrant may be issued for your arrest in some countries. For example, under the Mental Health Act of the UK, you can be arrested and imprisoned within a specialist psychiatric hospital if you are believed to be a serious risk to yourself.
