It is not seen as insane when a fighter, under an attack that will inevitable lead to his death, chooses to take his own life first.

Then haste we down to meet thy friends and foes; To place thy friends in ease, the rest in woes. For here though death doth end their misery, I'll there begin their endless tragedy. ↗
