The enzymes also digest any kind of worn out cell organelles or foriegn materials like bacteria or virus that enter the cell.... The released enzymes digest their own cell and ultimately the cell dies. Hence,lysosomes are called the suicide bags of the cell.

Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, foreign material and cellular debris. Lysosomes are capable of digesting nucleic acid, polysaccharides, fats, and proteins. Along with them lysosomes also digest or damage its own cells by its own enzymes, which lead to cell death. This process is called as autolysis. Hence lysosomes are also called as suicide bags
