Is a girl who chooses suicide over rape considered an infidel upon death?

Killing oneself does not take one out of the fold of Islam, and suicide is not permissible as a means of escaping rape. A woman who is coerced into fornication is not sinful and no prescribed punishment (hadd) applies to her. It is obligatory for a woman to take precautions and be careful to avoid rape.
