No, Creon does not announce his decision to kill himself after Haemon's death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Creon is devastated by the suicide of Prince Haemon, his only surviving child and heir apparent. He looks forward to death. But he makes no actual mention of taking his life.
