Socrates was forced to commit suicide in 399 BC by drinking Hemlock tea.

The most important source of our understanding of the trial and death of Socrates are the relevant dialogues of Plato, particularly APOLOGY, CRITO, and PHAEDO. Socrates did not actually commit suicide in the usual sense. He was sentenced to death after a trial and, instead of escaping from prison when he had the opportunity, he accepted the death penalty. He did so because he found the alternatives unacceptable. .
Socrates said his ideas came from his teachers.

he wasn't ordered to, he just did--although he would have died at someone else's hand

No one. Well you could say that the Athens government did, because they sentenced him to death. But he did not want to be killed so he poisoned himself and died amongst friends.
