I have lost a nephew, and several good friends to suicide.  Most people, when they get to that point, are in such mental pain, that they come to believe it's the only solution and a way out of the pain. Sometimes when people do it in a public place, or away from home, they want to spare their loved ones from finding them.  I doubt anyone that hasn't suffed depression to that point can even imagine what the person is going through.  As Hodja points out, they are not in their right mind, not using logic and good reasoning. When it gets to this point, they are not intent on making a public spectical - they are just desperate to end the pain. 

This woman is now at peace.  Her family deserves compassion, privacy and love. There are so many why's, what if's, and feelings of guilt on the part of the survivors and it takes a lot of time and understanding to accept what has happened.
