My sincere suggestion is to just keep one's mouth shut. It really is not for us to know or judge.
Is overweight person who has a heart attack from obesity a suicide, and denied heaven? How about the smoker or drinker who dies from the chronic effects -- a suicide, only slowly? What about the chronic worrier, even if he or she is sincerely concerned about his or her grown children, who strokes out from anxiety? What about the person who skipped some work-related duty to leave on time, and is hit by a car and killed on the way home? Did they commit suicide because they consciously shirked their duty, and then were in the wrong place at the wrong time?
And if any of the above are technically suicides, should we comment upon it to the survivors -- "You know, if only they had done what they were supposed to do, they would be able to go to heaven; but as it is...."
I think not.

Reductio ad absurdum like this is really silly. To compare this to the deliberate act of putting a gun in your mouth, taking an overdose of pills, or hanging yourself displays either a profound ignorance or a feeble attempt to justify suicide.
