Do they both die in The Notebook?

In the original, the film ended with a scene at a nursing home; the two main characters, Allie (Rachel McAdams) and Noah (Ryan Gosling), are much older, and Allie — who has dementia — has recalled the time she spent with Noah when they were young. The pair end the film in a romantic embrace, dying with each other.

Did they kill themselves in The Notebook?

No, they didn't commit suicide. They just died together. In a scene before that, Allie askes Noah if their love has the power to grant miracles, and Noah tells her yes. She also asks him if their love can take them away together (die together).
