Quote:Fair enough. That said, I still stick to the fact that she didn't help the situation (my disagreement was on the premise that she knew, which was based on your paragraph about getting him help and was isolated to that premise) which has been my argument through this whole thread.

No, she didn't help the situation.  I think we've agreed on that part.  But not helping the situation doesn't put any blame on her.  Ultimately, it was his choice to commit suicide. 

 

Quote:I'm guessing it wasn't the shopping trip that made him decide to jump to his death.  It's the fact that absolutely ANYTHING would have been better than having to hang around the person he was shopping with, and this trip was the last straw.

 

If ANYTHING would have been better, he'd have dropped the bags and just left the store.  She couldn't force him to stay, nor could she force him to do anything.
