I visited a Death and Dying class in our Social Science department this semester and a student in the class reported that he had recently been to the funeral Mass of a friend who committed suicide. The priest told everyone, including the family, his friend was going to hell for suicide.
Strikes me that the only one deserving of hell in that scenario was the priest.
