If so, would resisting arrest for the crime, and fleeing, bring about your being shot to death by the cops?

Yes. Suicide is illegal, just as an attempt is. It was outlawed only to protect anyone who would stop suicide and give them legal amnesty on that action. The courts will not put you in jail for attempting suicide, the closest thing a court might do is mandate counseling or therapy.

Well, if you ask that, then you are probably saying that the attempted suicide failed. Perhaps not being shot to death by the coppers, but committed yes. And if you had medical help, you should be financially liable for any and all costs, no way should insurance have to pay for that, no way!

Probably not.
Your very morbid question, and my concerns for your wellness aside, most states do not have a law banning attempted suicide.
I hope this helps, take care of your self.

no, it is not a crime to try and commit suicide, but if you try and fail, the authorities will put you into a state mental institution for evaluation.
