No, because that situation would be under duress.

Then suicides aren't always consensual!

Point granted. However, blackmail such as that would be closer to murder on the part of the blackmailer.

Although it could be viewed as consensual when the only two options are 1 person's death, or the death of the entire family, and the suicided person chose to save the lives of the family.
