Bottom line: If you commit suicide anywhere, you cannot get arrested, as a dead body is pointless to get arrested...

BUT. others have said:

Yes, suicide or attempted suicide is illegal in all 50 states.

No...Suicide(the act of successfully ending your own life) is perfectly legal in all 50 states in the USA.

Attempted suicide,meaning you failed in the actual attempt/method to end your own life such a failed overdosing,self mutilation or jumping from a bridge or other structure and being injured and not killed ect. is illegal in all 50 states of the USA.

To date not one single person has ever been charged, prosecuted and sentenced for committing suicide. Suicide is not a crime because you can not arrest,charge,prosecute or sentence a dead body in a court of law.
