Interesting. I'm from the same era and have the opposite opinion. To me the word "commit" implies legality, "death by suicide" seems factual and without judgement. The Centre for Suicide Prevention seems to agree. Not only in this article (https://www.suicideinfo.ca/local_resource/suicideandlanguage/ https://www.suicideinfo.ca/local_resource/suicideandlanguage...) but also in their usage of "suicide" in the very name of the organization. What word would suggest in place of "suicide"?
