I think it can be a selfish act done for unselfish reasons. In that depressed state of mind, a person does not feel that they are worth very much and just causing grief to people they love. It's the attitude of "I'll spare them anymore heartache" when their death would be the greatest heartache at all.
The scariest thing I have learned about suicide is that it most often happens when a depressed person starts to feel well again.
