16. Doubt it

He has too many things in his favor at the moment:

(1) He has not been charged with any crime.
(2) There is a strong possibility that he will never be charged with a crime.
(3) SYG law supports his actions, based solely on what the original investigators found.
(4) There is a stronger possibility that if he is charged with any crime, it likely will be a lesser charge of manslaughter.

All of that and the fact that he has shown no remorse for the killing, seems very unlikely that he would commit suicide. People in cases like this often don't kill themselves unless there is very strong chance they will be convicted of at least 2nd Degree Murder or 1st Degree Murder or they fear they will be killed behind bars. Since Zimmerman has at least a 50/50 chance of getting away with all this scott free he might as well wait to see how it all plays out.

If he was going to kill himself I would venture to say he would do it only after he was convicted with a punishment of something like life behind bars.
