3-2. Is cryonics suicide?

No. People only get suspended if they are legally dead. Suspending
them sooner can lead to charges of homicide. (The Dora Kent case was
about a suspension performed immediately after clinical death, which
the local coroner suspected may have been done before legal death.)
Suicides, murders, fatal accidents, etc. almost always result in
autopsy from the local coroner or medical examiner. The resulting
brain sectioning and extended room-temperature ischemia (inadequate
blood flow) may easily cause true death.
