I couldn't agree more, it's something that's close to my heart (not me personally) and I've never blamed the person for doing it, as weird as it sounds it actually takes a hell of a lot of guts to go through with the act itself knowing the consequences. Suicide is rarely an impulsive act and someone could have been trying for years to find another way out of the situation before coming to the conclusion that life is not worth living anymore.
However in this particular case and those where someone does it in a public space my empathy is very low.
