That she decides to commit suicide is the reason why Antigone dies in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is sentenced to death by live burial and starvation. She leaves no suicide note. But she takes her life by hanging herself with the halter from her own dress.

It's the decisions that explain what happens to Theban King Oedipus. For example, he's forewarned that he will kill his own father and marry his own mother. He decides to take action against his fate by fleeing what he thinks are his biological parents, Corinthian King Polybus and Corinthian Queen Merope.But he essentially decides not to keep up his guard. During his flight, he gets into a street brawl over a right-of-way. He decides to keep the fight going by striking back in self-defense. Unfortunately, his response is so strong, so violent that he kills the stranger, who unbeknownst to him is his biological father, Theban King Laius. It's Oedipus' decisionto respond in kind to an individual who's old enough to be his father.Oedipus also decides to accept the throne of Thebes. Once again, he decides not to keep up his guard. It's his decision to marry Theban Queen Jocasta, who's old enough to be his mother. And Jocasta indeed is Oedipus' mother.Additionally, Oedipus decides to issue a decree by which Laius' murderer is banished. He decides to say that the decree applies to everyone. In an example of foreshadowing, he decides that the decree is enforceable even and especially if he turns out to be the perpetrator. And he decides to allow for no mitigating factors, such as self-defense. Once again, it's Oedipus' decision not to be merciful and not to give indeterminate sentencing a chance.
To show respect to the Oracle at Apollo's Shrine is the reason why Theban King Oedipus wants to discover the murderer or murderers of his royal predecessor, Theban King Laius. The Oracle says that finding and punishing the perpetrator or perpetrators will end the pestilence that afflicts the Theban people and their livestock and harvests. Additionally, Oedipus decides that he needs to carry out the quest for his own self-protection. He suggests that otherwise what happens to one Theban king well may happen to another. He may be next in line on someone's assassination list.
After speaking with Teiresias in Sophocles' "Antigone," Creon decides to revoke his edict prohibiting the burial of Polynices and to free Antigone, who has been sentenced to death for her defiance. He realizes that his stubbornness and refusal to heed the warnings of the blind prophet have brought misfortune upon Thebes. This decision reflects a late attempt to correct his mistakes and restore order, though it ultimately leads to tragic consequences.

If someone is convicted that means they are found guilty of a crime (by jury or judge). After someone is convicted, they are sentenced, which means the judge (usually, sometimes jury) decides what punishment is appropriate. This can happen quite a while after someone is convicted because the court needs to do a presentencing investigation where the guilty party's age, past criminal record, mental health, etc. can be taken into account.
There is no true 'life" sentence. After a certain length of time even 'life' prsioners become eligible for a parole and release hearing. However, 'Life Without the Possibility of Parole' means exactly that - they are in prison until they die.
