Do people who commit sucide go to hell when they die, or could they remain a lost soul?

Catholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell.
There are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent.
While suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as diseases, intense pain, or anguish.
Therefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin.
We are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart.
With love in Christ.

Depends on your religion:
Catholic: hell
Mormon: lost soul
Most other forms of Christianity: God judges...put your faith that he did what is just
Athiest: there is nothing past life
Buddhist: Reincarnation, but the Karma will come back to you in another life

Not sure, but if there's a hell just for non-spelling morons, the first responder already knows his fate.

No one will ever no, we have never been there. We are not here to judge. Hope this question does not have to do with any thoughts you are having?
