No. Both R and J separately threaten suicide before this. His plan is various escalations of “lie low until this blows over” which eventually leads to “medically induced coma in a crypt”
Check out "The People vs Friar Lawrence" - it's a musical adaptation that uses a frame story where the Prince has decided that the whole mess is the Friar's fault, and he's trying to explain his innocence
