What happens after suicidal death according to Hindu scripture?

The Garuda Purana classifies suicide as a form of Durmaran (unnatural death). The soul of a person who died by suicide becomes trapped in Antariksha (atmospheric space) and cannot complete the normal post-death journey. The scripture modifies certain standard rites: the family is not required to observe the standard Ashaucha period, and standard water rites (Udakakriya) are not performed. The Garuda Purana prescribes Narayan Bali as the mandatory remedial rite. The scripture treats this as an act of compassion and duty, not as a judgment on the person who died.
