You'll see 'leap' used- people leap from buildings, bridges, etc.

The questioner seems not to intend to be told those kinds of explanations you have written. He or she says about the suicide by leaping from a building, a bridge, etc.

I'm not quite sure whether there is a special idiom. I think that you have to adopt the existing one to the situation of jumping/leaping to one's death from a building, bridge, etc.

I don't think there is. The suicide is assumed if the verb implies volition:

He was thrown off a bridge => murder
He fell off a bridge => accident
He threw himself off a bridge => suicide
