Perhaps I should have said something like intentional harm leading to death to make it clearer. But the person isn't any more alive even if they were somehow killed by some gentle, peaceful method.

That has a clear definition which I doubt is what is occurring?

Or are you asserting that these folks are getting locked up and tortured until they kill themselves?

Grad school students are often required to work ridiculous amounts of unpaid hours for their supervising faculty (well over 40 hrs/week, sometimes meaning 7 days a week). Their eventual graduation is implicitly or explicitly tied to the approval of these monstrous bosses. Source: some of my fellow, less fortunate grad students.

Sure. That is still not the scenario being described. That is every startup too.
