It’s from when it used to be illegal. And it’s not technically correct now, because it isn’t a crime. You should say, ‘killed him/herself’.

Like I know it’s a horrible thing, and personally, I think it’s often a selfish thing to do, but I’ve never noticed before how when everyone says it, they imply its a sin, that it’s a really bad, almost punishable thing to do just by saying the word ‘commit’. Interesting.
