Note
The -ing form does double duty. It is a progressive participle in "was suiciding" and a gerund in noun positions, where it competes with the plain noun suicide. It carries all three verb uses: killing oneself; self-destructing, as when units are thrown into an enemy line; and a transitive, now often conspiratorial one, where suiciding someone means killing them and staging the death as a suicide. The past form is suicided.
