Odin frowns upon such a dishonorable death.
Are you talking about a person named Odin or the Norse god? Suicide was considered a shortcut to Valhalla. Odin even hanged himself.

Huh?

Old or sick people would often kill themselves to try and trick Odin into thinking they died an honorable death on the battlefield. Odin chooses about half of the dead from a battlefield to join the Einherjar to fight alongside him during Ragnarok.

The honor and bravery and courage and fearlessness displayed during your time of death is what decides whether or not Odin chooses you. If you shoot yourself in the brain because you're depressed, that is not honorable, courageous, fearless, or brave. It's pathetic. It's a disdainful middle finger to your time on Earth and what it means.

And Odin hung himself on the World Tree for 9 days and threw his eye into Mimir's Well at the base of Yggdrasil after Baldur died as a sacrifice to himself in order to gain the knowledge of the Runes and see the future of himself the Aesir, respectively. That's how he learned of Ragnarok, his eventual death, and indeed the destruction of the current cosmic order.

Odin also liked fuck himself in the ass with his spear, "Gungnir," which means "Warrior Faggot" in Old Norse. Valhalla was just a big bathhouse in the sky.
