That's splitting hairs. Not preventing a person from killing themselves is morally equivalent to being complicit in their death. I hate seeing when people who commit suicide get blamed for their death: they're mentally ill, they can't help themselves. People who could've helped them should be blamed instead.

It can be even harmful in certain situations e.g. a mother/father who lost their child even though they have done everything they could to prevent that. That's tragic in and of itself. Finding someone to blame would only worsen the situation.
