For many decades suicide was illegal in many Western Countries. However I have read that laws against suicide have been repealed in most places. Apparently no one ever successfully prosecuted a successful suicide case. The defendant never showed up.

Still, in principle, one should be able to obtain a judgement in absentia, impose a fine and allow the state to profit from the demise of the criminal. Then there's the tort of interfering with the taxes the state would have been owed for the remainder of the fiscal year.
