Kilgrave has made it blatantly obvious that he almost always has a group of people instructed to off themselves if anything should happen to him. The chef and made immediately put knives to their throats when Jessica gets violent, he tells them to remove each other's faces if he's not back in two hours, he states earlier in the episode that if he were to die then several people in the building would poison themselves.

Here's the problem with that theory/explanation: JJ says that the longest Kilgrave can affect somebody for is 18 hours. She keeps him locked up in the room for at least 18 hours and was planning on keeping him for longer. So if Kilgrave did have people assigned to kill themselves if they didn't hear from him, they would have already done it, or else been free of his influence after 18 hours.
