Fact about Yorùbá people: (Suicide)

Committing  suicide  is a serious abomination  in Yoruba land,  and  the  body must  not  be  lowered  down  until some  sacrifices are  performed to appease  the  gods. The  body of  such  individual will be  thrown  into  the evil forest  or outside the  town  to  avoid invoking the  anger of the gods on the land. The  family of  an  individual  that  commits suicide  will  be  tainted forever  in  the  community.
