Be very careful. One doesn't want to send a signal to people contemplating suicide that everything will go away if they complete suicide.

Everything did go away for Aaron Swartz, because he's dead. You aren't going to discourage people from suicide by being harder on the dead. And I don't think it's at all cool to imply that he got what was coming to him.
