There are many debates about which character killed themselves, Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde and it is a matter of your opinion and how you perceive the book, but if you go of the bare facts, you should know that Dr Jekyll has a certain degree of control over Mr Hyde's actions, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to turn back, and it was Mr Hyde's voice that responds when Mr Utterson and Poole threaten to break down the door.

So yes it was Mr Hyde who killed himself, however I believe that it was Dr Jekyll that took control of Mr Hyde's actions in order to force him to kill himself.

I think this because Mr Hyde would have committed suicide already to kill Dr Jekyll if he did not love life.

You could also say it was completely Mr Hyde's choice to kill himself, as his terror of being caught and hung at the gallows for murder could have got the best of him.
