If only you were able to take your perspective one step farther. Why did he commit suicide?

If I get dumped and I commit suicide because of it, does that mean I was "executed by proxy" by my girlfriend/boyfriend?

"Executed by proxy" is ridiculous, overheated rhetoric.

Because something was wrong in his brain and he couldn't handle the stress of his situation.

Many people have faced similar or worse charges, and did not commit suicide, so we'll have to point at something else.

Fuck them for what they did to him, but we should be rallying to get him set free. We can't start pointing fingers at other people for suicides. We have agency.
