It's unclear when it was considered a crime. But the commission of suicide is the same as murder -- except that the victim is one's self. The reason for these laws are not to target the depressed individual, but those who aid and abet to the victim's self-murder. In a situation where someone wants to end his life, a person has the duties of calling police to intervene.
