REQUEST : Suicide and the Moment of Death

Hello,

Here is another question about suicide and Hindu theology.

I have heard from more than one source that Hinduism (ie the Vedic
religions) believes that the time of death is determined at birth, and
cannot be changed.

If this were true, wouldn't that make suicide less "intentional" and
more of a natural death?

Or is suicide an exception?

Namaskar,

Ken
