It's complicated, but I don't think it's fair to blame someone who commits suicide when they're mentally unhealthy, if not even diseased. It's a tragedy that leaves multiple victims, but I don't see how it does any good to place the blame on the depressed person.

I'm not saying suicide should be encouraged, just that it's a blameless crime.
