I really don’t know. On one hand, people may say “they did it, I’m innocent!” but on the other, people may say yes due to enforced or attempted enforced suicide/threats.
This isn’t happening to me or anyone I know, it’s simply a question that’s been on my mind.
Good luck proving it most of the time

A lot would be needed to make a suicide actually an enforced one. And this is probably very difficult to prove.
OTOH such serious kind of bullying is a crime already, regardless of a suicide. Death threatening as well.
(Maybe not everywhere, but here it is).
That probably depends on the jurisdiction they’re in, as well as the amount of evidence available.
Legal questions can’t be meaningfully answered without a location. But there are many places where there are laws against that and this can be a crime.

Asking for a friend?
Nah, just curious
When I was in HS, a dude hung himself and everybody blamed his bully, who to be fair was a dogshit person. However it turned out that the dead student had been sexually exploited by both his parents his entire life.
You would have to show me strong evidence ala Michelle Carter before I’ll draw conclusions about what’s going on in the mind of a suicidal person.

God damn, did the pedos at least get the rope?
I think this is the one case where you should use hanged instead of hung, but I’m not a native speaker, so not 100% sure.
As in 95% of all questions about law: It depends. What country? What are the circumstances? What’s the makeup of the jury if any? Is it before or after lunch and how hungry is the judge?
I’m not being facetious, that’s the actual truth of things most of the time.

If you’re a practicing attorney, can you explain to me what roll the judge and jury have in charging someone with a crime? I had always thought that was done long before they game into the picture.
She was charged as guilty for doing that. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/16/us/suicide-texting-trial-michelle-carter-conrad-roy.html
not the same she literally told him to do it many times and stayed on the phone as he did it?
This is a plinko situation. You can drop identical plinko chips in the same place, ten different times and get 10 different outcomes.
Same thing here. How things play out all depend on who committed suicide, how good looking the bully is, the race of the bully, which cops investigate, how well liked the victim is, which direction the wind was blowing at 12:37pm, ect ect ect.

He could be a sexual predator who wants to make you his next victim! It happened to me once. The guy was a monster. He just wrote something really funny on my Facebook wall. That’s how he gets me. He’s witty. It’s Alan Rickman
American Dad reference!?
