Yes.

Depends what you mean by factory animals. I know cows have taken their own lives.

How can I know that any of those cases are intentional suicides rather than accidental deaths?
Christian Collins
I guess you can't.
It would be silly for a creature that has lived in water for its entire life to drown, though.
I have no idea why it happened, though.

If this is your mindset you only really have two choices:
1. Teach a suicidal animal to talk and ask it if it's considered killing itself.
2. Set up a large-scale experiment in which you induce animals to kill themselves, e.g. by torturing them, and record the results.

I knew a dog that killed himself by jumping in front of a car. He was mad he was a dog, he wanted to be a human. Too smart. He'd bark at the hallway lights, then jump and bite the switch on or off, then bark at it some more. There was one moment where he was watching someone in his family do something with their hands, and he looked at his own paws and tried to use them, and got frustrated. He was pissed off most of the time, he even bit me once when his owner sat sort of close to me. He was probably in love with her. Sad story really.
Also, cetaceans.

Even if u did that it's hard to tell if it's intentional. I'm pretty sure it's not unheard of of people under a lot of stress cracking and doing something stupid unintentionally. Even the starving yourself like on wiki is necessarily suicide.
