I never knew such an act existed. It's still very confusing.

If it was a crime then who they are going to punish if person who committed this "crime" is gone? Makes no sense.

Ofc it makes no sense but legislation was around attempts too that also was illegal

Perhaps they said "If you end your own life, we will execute you!"

If I should guess what they were aiming for back then, it was probably to prevent suicides by punishing those who failed.

Think it has something to do with the deceased's assets. Not 100% sure though
