50 years ago, Christian de Duve introduced the term “suicide bags” to describe lysosomes (1), the organelles containing numerous hydrolases, which were, until the discovery of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, thought to be responsible for the major part of the intracellular turnover of proteins and other macromolecules .

Hope this helps.....

Lysosomes are known as suicide bags of the cell because they contain lytic enzymes capable of digesting cells and unwanted materials.

When lysosomes burst, the lytic enzymes within the organelle spill all over the cell, rupturing the cell membrane or cell wall and inducing the death of the cell
