Do People Go To Hell If They Commit Suicide?

[Winter_Rose]

I’m a huge fan of Kurt Cobain and Robin Williams and it was a shame that they went through a bad stage and loose them whilst they were still “young”.

I came across a tribute video of Robin Williams and there were some saying that he’s going to hell because what he had done.

 

[Fr.Charles_Grondin]

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

Suicide

**2281 **Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life. It is gravely contrary to the just love of self. It likewise offends love of neighbor because it unjustly breaks the ties of solidarity with family, nation, and other human societies to which we continue to have obligations. Suicide is contrary to love for the living God.

**2282 **If suicide is committed with the intention of setting an example, especially to the young, it also takes on the gravity of scandal. Voluntary co-operation in suicide is contrary to the moral law.

Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide.

**2283 **We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. The Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives.
