No one knows for sure.
In 178 AD the Greek philosopher Celsus wrote in his anti-Christian book, "Logos Alethes" that evidence that Jesus was not god included the fact that Pilate "did not suffer the fate of Pentheus [for rejecting a god] by going mad or being torn to pieces."
Origen, a Christian writer, responded to Celsus by saying that Pilate was not truly responsible for the death of Jesus.
This suggests that there was no early tradition of execution or suicide in the second or third centuries.
It is known that Pilate was ordered back to Rome around 36 AD to answer charges for alleged crimes he committed in Judea, but Tiberius died before Pilate reached Rome. The crimes Pilate was accused of included an unnecessary massacre of some Samarititanson Mount Gerizem.
After serving ten years, and with the transition to a new emperor (Caligula) it is reasonable to assume he was simply discharged from service to the empire and went into retirement.
Pilate did comit suicide shortly after Easter.
Another answer:
There is no New Testament record of Pilate committing suicide. You may be thinking of Judas Iscariot, who hung himself following Christ's crucifixion (Matthew 27:3-5).
