actually Leslie Howard did something similar in "The Petrified Forest". he and other people (notably Bette Davis) were trapped in a diner by gunman led by Humphrey Bogart. In order to give Bette Davis enough money for a new life, he made out his insurance policy to her and asked Bogart to shoot him when Bogart left. Bogie complied and, voila!, a noble suicide.
