Actually, I can see Hurin killing himself, but not out of despair as such, more out of an attitude of 'I'll show them!'.
For all the tragedy of the family, there is something self destructive about them all. Maybe a result of living in such times. But then, we find the same thing in the Rohirrim - 'Death, Death, Death, Death take us all.' As if they've decided that if you can't live how you want then you'd rather just be dead. But where is the Christian ideal of surrender to the will of God?
