Sillabub, [I]gwanel nin[/], perhaps you should re-read that chapter of the Silmarillion again before making such vehement assertions that are inherently untrue. Turin did indeed kill himself. After he killed Glaurung, the dying dragon told the hapless warrior everything that had happened (he married his sister, she was pregnant with his kid, etc. etc.) and promptly died. Turin felt so horrible, that he asked his sword whether it would take his life. In one of its more brilliant moments may I add, Gurthang answered,

"Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly."

Turin then threw himself upon his sword, and died.
