I really don’t know. On one hand, people may say “they did it, I’m innocent!” but on the other, people may say yes due to enforced or attempted enforced suicide/threats.
This isn’t happening to me or anyone I know, it’s simply a question that’s been on my mind.
When I was in HS, a dude hung himself and everybody blamed his bully, who to be fair was a dogshit person. However it turned out that the dead student had been sexually exploited by both his parents his entire life.
You would have to show me strong evidence ala Michelle Carter before I’ll draw conclusions about what’s going on in the mind of a suicidal person.
I think this is the one case where you should use hanged instead of hung, but I’m not a native speaker, so not 100% sure.
This has happened, the girl was found guilty of manslaughter.

This is a plinko situation. You can drop identical plinko chips in the same place, ten different times and get 10 different outcomes.
Same thing here. How things play out all depend on who committed suicide, how good looking the bully is, the race of the bully, which cops investigate, how well liked the victim is, which direction the wind was blowing at 12:37pm, ect ect ect.
You’ve already gotten the answers, but I’ll try to consolidate amd summarize just because.
It can happen, and it has happened. But it is going to vary by location and specific circumstances as to whether or not it will happen. That’s because even in places where there’s laws that directly apply, you still have to prosecute the case (since you’re asking about charges), and if there’s not enough evidence to make prosecution probably successful, charges may not be placed by the “state”.
It’s a difficult thing you prosecute.

That probably depends on the jurisdiction they’re in, as well as the amount of evidence available.
In Europe there is the penal recognition to criminal inducement, you may not be the real committer but the one who has been pushing and convincing people to do it.
And yes, if the person commits suicide, it falls in this category
