That's a really, really complex line to draw. Suicide is by definition a choice a person makes for themselves. How do we decide where responsibility transitions from running your company (very) poorly to directly causing someone to decide to take their own life?

Could Boeing be held legally responsible in some way? Maybe so, and maybe they should be in most peoples' opinion, but it isn't as clear as assuming they must have been directly responsible for driving a man to suicide.
