But selficide refers to the -cide suffix, not to suicide.

But then again the "self" prefix means doing it to yourself, as in "self-portrait" (which is where "selfie" comes from): taking a portrait of yourself.

So "selficide" would mean killing yourself, i.e. the same thing as suicide.

No! It means the selfie killed you? Which would make it correct.
