As often as not, suicide is the result of a severe mental illness — often clinical depression. I don’t know whether God punishes the ill with Hellfire: I doubt it.

But the 5th Commandment states clearly "THOU SHALT NOT KILL (MURDER)" and that includes even yourself. Any person that murders another can be said to be suffering from mental illness, mental illness is only caused by sin, a person's continued rejection of GOD. We all suffer from varying degrees of mental illness (sin).

Ritter was 45, so he was rejecting God for 45 years, finally breaking the 5th Commandment on his way down to hell. If you live a life without God, then taking your life will be no big deal to you. So you think God should reward this guy into heaven's embrace after all is said and done?
