I think it matters whether you are a believer in Christ or not. Still, it is a debatable topic. I personally believe that, according to Scripture NOTHING separates us from the love of God once we accept His Gift of salvation. It specifically states: neither life nor death... and I include death by choice in that. There is no level of "sin" that God cannot forgive, except the one of not accepting His Gift of salvation.

Paul spoke of it being better to die and be with Christ...but that he stayed to be with the other diciples. That hints that he could have ended his own life and gone on without doing so much work and struggles here on earth.

If you are not a believer, according to the Bible, nothing can get you to heaven. And, yes, I believe in a hell. The book of Revelation speaks about the torment there, and on top of all of that anguish, you are never in God's presence or feeling His love or mercy.
