Difficult question. Perhaps, but maybe not. As Conan writes, if the suicide is the result of a disease, then it might make sense that it is covered by insurance. If not, then probably no.

Aside from potential insurance related benefits, I think society should care for victims of suicidals in various ways, like providing counselling/therapy if needed.
