committing suicide
Taking one's life
Committing suicide is the act of intentionally ending one's own life.
The phrase commit suicide remains standard despite efforts to replace it with die by suicide, which avoids the connotation of crime or sin that commit carries from its use with offenses like murder or adultery.
