According to Christianity, all people who commit suicide go to hell?

I am a believer but it is still not clear to me if all the people who commit suicide are condemned.
Whar happens with cases where a person killed himself by accident and not by will?

God knows if it was an accident or not I guess.

God will know whether it was an accident or not.

Accidental deaths are not really suicides. It would be an accident. As for deliberate suicide, it really depends. If a saved person does it, it's hard to say. I don't believe all suicides automatically go to hell. I believe that God is very merciful. If a person has a mental illness they aren't in their right mind. According to the Bible, one must be of sound mind to make that judgement. So if a mentally ill person does this, I believe God will be forgiving.

If a person kills himself in a demoniac possession, it isn't suicide, because who killed him wasn't himself, but the demon.

For example, imagine that a good person suffers from an illness or (physical things) and asks him to end his life to avoid suffering from shooting himself in the head or getting poisoned. Would that person be deprived of heaven if he dies?

I think that would be suicide, yes.

And in that case the soul of the person would be safe?

Being a "good person" doesn't cut it. It matters whether or not they knew the Lord. That is the determining factor. God knows the heart of people and if they are saved or not. It matters if we die without the Lord, because we have no covering of our sins.
