But is there an "off switch" Timber? To commit suicide, you must directly interfere with the natural course of your life. We all die. Murder, manslaughter and suicide are those lives ending as a result of HUMAN INTERVENTION. That's not switching the "off-switch".
If there is an "off switch" it is losing the will to live. As I have said repeatedly, REPEATEDLY, humans who lose the will to live die. That is the off switch. Proactively terminating ones life is overwhelmingly a way of escaping accute pain.
If you really don't want to live, you will die. If you want to end pain under any circumstances, self destruction such as suicide (or chemical escapism) are behavioural paths often chosen by those unable to see alternatives.
