Do we still consider this the honorable thing to do?

Did we ever? If he would rather die then do the time and face the dishonor of being found guilty then I think it's fine.

He might know himself well enough to know that he isn't the kind of guy who will deal with what he has coming to him very well. Maybe he has thought of suicide his whole life and this was the last straw.

I didnt think it was worth killing himself over

Yes, some perspective might have saved him. But, his kingdom crumbled. Some just don't want to start over, I suppose.

I don't have the balls to kill myself :-) I don't feel like i have the right either

Really? I would think that suicide is one's most fundamental right. I'm not advocating for it, but its your life; you should be able to do what you want with it.
