A highly debated topic among this fandom is, did Kit Snicket commit suicide? There is a large possibility that she did when she chose not to eat the apple on the island that would have saved her life.

Kit stated that she could not eat the apple, saying that it would harm the baby, and that there was a chance that it would cause birth defects. However, considering the fact that she was already in labor at this time, no developments to the fetus would be made, meaning that the apple would not negatively affect the baby.

Kit did engage in dangerous and reckless activities for what we see of her pregnancy, like drinking coffee, which, had it been caffeinated, would harm the baby, and driving recklessly. In the TV show, she is shown to not be wearing a seat belt while driving at a fast speed. She is quite depressed in the books, blaming herself for the death of her brother, Jacques, and possible father of her child, Dewey. Therefore, it does make since that she would commit suicide, thinking it would end her guilt.

However, part of the fandom dislikes this theory. It is possible that she would not have been aware of the affect of drinking coffee, or that it was decaffeinated, showing in that situation that she wasn't necessarily being reckless and then all of the sudden decided not to be in The End. There were also dire circumstances in which she drove extremely fast and recklessly. It is also possible that she was not aware of the fact that had she eaten the apple, her child probably would have been able to be born without any negative affects.

In the Netflix series, it seems that they tried to discourage the suicide theory, by making her consume the apple after giving birth, but by the point, it would have been too late, still resulting in her death.

With all of this taken into consideration, there is no definite conclusion, and we can only speculate, leaving the mystery of whether or not she did commit suicide unsolved.
