I agree, suicide. I think it says this in the first stanza.
"They saw her break through barriers 40 feet high.
It was the finest moment in a long life."
She's breaking through barriers 40 feet high because she jumped. It seemed like a great choice to make at the time, finest moment in a long life.
"Young boys will tack her pictures over their bed.
They saw her mouth move but couldn't hear what she said."
Maybe she was saying something as she fell or before she jumped, but noone was near her? They could only see her mouth the words. Or maybe it just means she was a silent-film actress.
Also "The higher you are you want to see what's below." As VampedVixen said, "it's about wanting to see the bottom after you're at the top." But it also means that she literally jumped from a high place and fell.
