The thing with mental illness is not everyone thinks it's real, so they are callous and do more harm than good when someone comes to them. Not everyone recognizes counseling and psychiatry as valid alternatives to problem solving. Those that apply broad-brush reductive reasoning to anything they can't touch or spend often equate mental illness as a cop-out for laziness or lack of masculinity.
If someone picks a person to witness their suicide, that person could very well be complicit in some way that we'll never know. We'll only get one version of events: the abridged and sanitized version.
