Personally i don't think looking for answers is gonna do any good at this point, people close to a person who did the dead could even start looking for answers and start asking questions wich will never be answered - "why didn't i see it" - "i should have done something", etc..
Do not misunderstand me, i don't think bringing this up is bad at all..... i would have done at another time though.

An unfortunate side-effect of suicide is that it can often work "inspirational". People already contemplating doing it or people who are emotionally unstable can be pushed over the edge if they see it happen relatively close to them.
The value of discussion after hearing about someone doing it is that it can cause people to put in a little more thought, see other's perspectives and realize situations may not be as hopeless as they sometimes seem. By gaining understanding themselves, they may give things a bit more thought.
