Attempted suicide is not typically considered a crime. It can be considered an act resulting from a mental illness, however.
There does not appear to be a Kentucky Statute that defines suicide or attempted suicide as a crime. KRS 216.300-308 deals with assisted suicide which is a crime in Kentucky.

Suicide. However, suicide attempts are rarely punished with jail time.
I would think it would be suicide. It is a crime to take another person's life and a crime to attempt to take your own life. If you succeeded in committing suicide you would be dead anyway so could not be held accountable. the correct answer is capital
No it is not illegal to commit suicide...because you can not arrest a dead person and put them on trial for a crime.. It is however illegal to fail at committing suicide which is then called attempted suicide,such as if you over dose on aspirin and are taken to the hospital and they save your life,you will then be charge with attempted suicide...
If you commit suicide it can't be a crime. If you attempt it in the United States it is still not a crime. India and Singapore are the only countries that I know punish for attempted suicide by 1 to 5 years in prison. It could technically be counted as a crime; however, there is no punishment conceivable for someone who has committed suicide, as they are already dead and therefore cannot feel or care about anything (unless they are watching somehow from heaven).
attempted suicide is illegal.
Trick question. If a suicide is unsuccessful, no one dies - therefore - no homicide either. And, yes, "Attempted Suicide" IS a crime on the books in some jurisdictions.
