Well, if you committed suicide, you would be dead, so no... they couldn't fire you. On a serious note though, it really depends on your company's HR rules and those of the state you reside in. Many states are "right to work" which means your boss can fire you at any time, for any reason (besides discrimination) and doesn't even have to tell you why. Your best bet is to contact your state's Labor Board and check their rules/file a complaint if this has happened.
