If you want to direct blame, depression robbed all three of them of their future together, and their insurance allowed depression to progress until fatal.

Hoping for someone to get ahold of themselves in the middle of mental illness is not an expectation grounded in reality.

Exactly. We don't use the above commenter's framing for schizophrenia, OCD or psychosis deaths for this reason. We just have a cultural programming to say that anything that isn't very visible must be fake.
