Albaniana"to kick the bucket" simply means "to die". However, it is extremely coarse, even vulgar slang: It would never be used in a formal setting, and especially not within earshot of the family of the deceased, unless one wanted to be deliberately offensive!
There are many theories as to where this idiom comes from, but the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) discusses the following: A person standing on an upside-down pail or bucket with their head in a noose (slipknot) attached to something above him, in order to commit suicide by hanging himself would then kick the bucket out from under his feet so as to cause sudden strangulation and thus commit suicide.
However, the term nowadays does NOT in any way specifically imply death by suicide: it simply means to die, from whatever cause!

Creepy Nuts - Hymn For Nightwalkers
Sucking up my youth day after day
Like a Succubus or an Incubus
I’ll kick the bucket in the near future
You took me along to the Saturday hangout
The chick looks like teen junkie
Takes fake "e" on the rave
It's easier to kick the bucket from that
than half a glass to get high
Creepy Nuts - For us Who Used to be Geniuses
I too am a galaxy that’s expanding on and on
Being a freshman all the way down to the very end
Failed to kick the bucket; I’ve made a comeback from the abyss
Gunfinger from the shade of the grass
Ah, that’s right, they’re all just stupid
If I proclaim my worthless sense of justice,
I can’t go back anymore. They’re not going to just kick the bucket,
The mocking clown and the eyes of the prodigy.
Mata - Demoralized intellectuals
My homie wanted to spend his father's whole salary on drugs
but his old man was making too much.
He would kick the bucket trying.
My homie hung himself on New Year's Eve.
Nikos Xilouris - The ballad of mr. Mentios
And when a good night
I kick the bucket
and breathe my last
aimlessly staggering across
bet your life on it
if you kick the bucket, it's the end
if you're not dead, don't speak about it
The Nightmare Before Christmas (OST) - This Is Halloween!
You say "one", you say "two" -
then your head falls from your shoulders.
You should kick the bucket with us, you can't avoid it.
You can scream, you can roar in the Kingdom of Halloween.
Kenshi Yonezu - Electric Shock
This sparkle that lasts only for a moment
Let’s eat it up, the two of us, until we kick the bucket
And good fortune, a prayer for ourselves
And if because of this lover's grief
I was to kick the bucket
Do not send me flowers
French Folk - The Song of Craonne
For this infamous war
It's at Craonne on the plateau
That we must kick the bucket
Because we're all condemned
She says she cheated on me?
Whatever, I put it 10 to 1
Grandpa suffers agony, Grandpa will kick the bucket due to cancer
I'm in Kit Kat(1) and I forgot his pain pills
Kostas Varnalis - The ballad of mr. Mentios
And when a good night
I kick the bucket
and breathe my last
Oh come on, it's not a big deal.
Apologies are accepted.
I’ll just kick the bucket here, in this damn St. Pet.
Unloved and ugly, like democracy in Russia.
BADBOK - Putin (A Song About Putin's Death)
İf he can't do it himself Why don't somebody help him?
Kick the bucket
Kick the bucket
Huntin' a good vibe
At the baddest times
I'd kick the bucket just
To see the other side
And by then I will be old
So I'll kick the bucket
I'll look for a God
So, baby, make just like K-Fed
And let yourself go, let yourself go
Say "Fuck it!" before we kick the bucket
Life's too short to not go for broke
So then I'll be old
And I can kick the bucket
I'll search for a God
