Socrates. He was charged with a crime for not recognizing the gods and corrupting Athenians. After being sentenced to death he chose to commit suicide by drinking hemlock. He did this in the presence of his friends who respected him and cheered for him as he drank the poison.

Do the spirits of people who commit suicide cross over?

According to Christian doctrine, all a person must do to guarantee themselves an eternal spot in heaven is accept and believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Basically saying that agreeing with the teachings is all you have to do. No where in the Bible does it say that if a sin is committed and it is bad enough (i.e. Suicide) then a person will automatically revoke his passage into heaven. If this was the case, a person could tell a lie on his deathbed and be sentenced to hell because of it. I assume this is true of all religions.
