My stance on this has always been those who did not feel some sense of guilt or remorse would not commit suicide - even if they were thinking of consequences. After all, if they feel it is somehow "acceptable" to do this, would they not also imagine a judge or jury may at the very least give leniency? And a psychopath - well a psychopath wouldn't care one way or the other except that it was no longer of benefit to them, but it would not be something to "fear". So, Stephen Paddock committed suicide, I would say he had some sense of remorse, especially since the general consensus is he was not suicidal.
