I don't think it's right to say that "ALL" who committ suicide are going to hell. But, I wouldn't want to chance it. Especially for a Christian to committ suicide. There are a small number of people who have committed suicide for reasons that had nothing to do with life threatening illness, or mental instability. Those are the ones whom I would be afraid for. As MrJim said earlier, I don't believe it's an unpardonable sin, and the scripture he provided proves it.

There is also another thought that came to me on this subject. One may be too mentally ill to be send to Hell for having committed suicide, while on the other hand suicide may rush him into judgement and Hell for sins committed prior to the mental illness.
