    Iirc the phrase is based in religious thought that suicide is a sin or crime against God. Committing suicide or having committed suicide are commonly used, in USA English anyway.

      Yeah as far as I know that’s the way it is in most western countries. A lot of our laws are based on Christianity. Along with every national public holiday being based on special Christian days. In places where they like to complain about how discriminated against and hard done by they are (while enjoying their freedom to openly discriminate against all flavours of queer people and anyone else they consider a heretic).
