Do folks who committed suicide qualify to get Temple work done when LDS leadership knows they chose to take their own life?

Per the current CHI (2006), such persons are treated the same as everyone else:

Generally, members may perform temple ordinances for deceased persons one year or more after the date of death without regard to the person's worthiness or cause of death.

CHI, p. 87 (emphasis added).

and

Unless they were excommunicated or had their names removed from the Church membership records at the time of death, persons who have taken their own lives may have temple ordinances performed for them one year or more after the date of death.

CHI, p. 88 (emphasis added).

I did the bogus temple work for a relative that committed suicide several years previous.

There is no spot on the records to indicate whether they only shot themselves dead or 100 some odd men, women and a few talkative children like John D. Lee did.

messed up.
