Can fishes commit suicide?

Okay as silly as the question sounds my little cousin got some fishes from a family day we attended and they basically went nuts. Two of the little guys started jumping out of the bowl. When we became aware of the problem a lid was placed on the bowl but they kept on trying. Needless to say they rammed the lid so hard they died. So my question is: Is this normal fish behavior or where our fishes just emo and disturbed.
