Good analysis.
A couple of additional factors ... one is that so many folks "cry suicide" as a way of getting attention and/or "negotiating" a resolution of a conflict with another party, the result is a "crying wolf" response with those around them not taking them seriously, and a spin off is so many end up killing or maiming themselves when they really didn't intend to commit suicide ... they were just "crying for help" or "leveraging" and it backfired on them.
Unless someone has actually been confronted with a suicidal persons in the midst of their "episode" and had to talk them down, then it's rather problematic to give an opinion as to the culpability of loved ones or friends by their response to the situation. Each situation has its own set of facts, which are usually quite different.
Too many folks engage in "Monday morning quarterbacking"!

Did they bring up how many time prior to this he called or texted saying he was going to kill himself?
