In general, insurance covers "fortuitous" events: those that are neither planned nor intentional, and life insurance is no different.
However, there is typically a provision in life insurance policies that payment will not be denied if the insured dies of suicide after 2 years from the date that the policy was issued. This is called an "incontestibility clause".

Does life insurance pay for suicide?
A standard life insurance policy usually contains a provision stating that death that is the result of suicide will not be covered if it occurs within a stated period of time after the issuance of the policy. The period of time varies, but it is frequently two years. The reasoning for this provision is that insurance is intended to cover fortuitous occurrences, not ones that are planned or intended. NOTE= Commiting suicide is never the answer to a problem.
