Definitely not!
In contrast to your belives, God does not exist and therefore (If, as you have said, the person does not have the nerve to kill himself) nothing connected to his choice will kill him. He can still be hit by a bus but it is not his fault or God's action.
Consider four faithful people mentioned in the Bible who suffered despair to the point of not wanting to go on.
Rebekah: “If this is the way it is, why should I go on living?”—Genesis 25:22.
Moses: “Please kill me right now. . . . Do not make me see any more calamity.”—Numbers 11:15.
Elijah: “Take my life away, for I am no better than my forefathers.”—1 Kings 19:4.
Job: “Why did I not die at birth?”—Job 3:11.
If you read the Bible accounts about these people, you will find that their circumstances changed for the better—and in ways that they could not have foreseen. The same might be true for you. (Ecclesiastes 11:6) Do not give up!
