Can a Christian Commit Suicide?

A homeless man living in his truck knelt in front of a cross at Crystal Cathedral church and shot himself in the head, committing suicide.  He reportedly was spiritual, and was known to have attended a Bible study. Not much else is was known about this man at press time, but tragically he is not the first to have committed suicide at this church.  In 2004, the church’s composer shot himself in the church basement.  It is reported that he had been suffering with some sort of mental illness.  These tragedies naturally raise the question of whether a Christian can commit suicide.
