Martyrdom presumes that it was done for a worthy cause.

I am pretty sure most Christian martyrs did not commit suicide, they were killed by Romans/Pagans/Communists.

While they did willingly take the risks, they were no more suicidal than modern teens with their skateboard tricks.

Suicide is personal, martyrdom is for a cause.
