Self-murder, or suicide, is taken very seriously by the Florida legislature. If you attempt suicide or assist another in attempting suicide, you will be guilty of a third-degree felony carrying prison time. Additionally if you provide a venue for, or stand to profit from, a public suicide in any way, you may be charged under the statute. It is important to understand that you may be charged whether or not the suicide attempt is successful. However, the statute does not criminalize the showing of a simulated suicide.
