I would hazard a guess that the downvotes are because if your going to include second order effect deaths like that then a lot of people have no doubt died from trading stocks as well. There was an article here on HN recently about one such tragedy. Some kid killed himself because he thought he owed a bunch of money from trading options or something (I think it was Robinhoods UI but don’t quote me on that) when I’m fact he didn’t owe the money.

- elif 5y agoIt is insane to compare a single self-inflicted death based upon misunderstanding to hundreds of thousands of deaths resulting from the corporate norms.
