"We don’t know yet the reason why one of the guys went out,” uhhhhh, cockpits do NOT have lavatories. When ya gotta go, ya gotta go. In a commercial aircraft, that means leaving the cockpit.
If a pilot is suicidal but appears "normal", there's really no way to stop him (her). If they choose to kill themself while flying, they'll be taking everyone onboard with them.
If any means of access is allowed from the main cabin, hijackers would find and exploit it so, to be totally secure, the only way to open the cockpit door must be controlled from inside the cockpit.
Most flight crew members are dedicated and reliable professionals. Suicide is extremely rare.
Condolences to the family and coworkers of all the innocent souls who were killed.
