Pretty sure it’s not a crime so the term “committed” doesn’t fit.
Out of curiosity, what word would you use instead of committed there?
Died by suicide. Took their own life. Those are the most common I hear.
I haven’t heard the first at all interestingly. I do prefer the second phrase
It’s easier to say for sure.
It is a crime in most US states. If you find yourself hospitalized after a suicide attempt, you will be guarded around the clock until you’re well enough to be moved to a state psychiatric facility. You remain property of the state until release from said facility. You may petition the court to prove that you are stable enough for release, but you’ll likely be released before you see a judge.

People get committed to their romantic partners all the time. You know, a wedding.
Commit means more than doing crime.
