SP, haven't the foggiest but just one point..

Is giving up body equal to suicide? Was it not considered sin?

Suicide is decried as sinful only in Christian thought and people who committed suicide have been denied a proper burial.

The general attitude towards suicide in Hindu mythological stories has never been too harsh. There are many tales of people committing suicide and then being blessed with moksha or reinstatement of life after the "um bakthiyai yaam mechinOm".
