Leo Crow essentially commits suicide in the movie. This is contrary to what the pre-cogs predicted, but it is a death of passion. If Agatha had been in the temple, would the pre-cogs have created a brown ball for this passionate death, which was essentially self inflicted?

They did see Crow's murder. However, Anderton chooses not to go through with it at the last moment, thus invalidating the whole science behind pre-crime. Crow's blackmail by Burgess was just insurance so that framing of Anderton would still look authentic (since Burgess knows that pre-crime is fallible.)– ChahkCommented Mar 10, 2014 at 21:49

No, they don't detect suicides.
From the original script by Scott Frank
ANDERTON : The Precogs don't see what you intend to do, only what you will do.
WITWER : Then why can't they see rapes, or assaults... or suicides?
FLETCHER : Because of the nature of murder.
