No, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel did not commit suicide. He faced significant criticism for his role as the commander of the Pacific Fleet during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, but he lived until 1968, passing away from natural causes. Kimmel spent much of his later life defending his actions and seeking to clear his name.
