It sounds like there’s no evidence that the committer committed suicide and this post is based on an assumption that ve did. I think the author’s heart is in the right place and the mental health advice is helpful to all, but it seems off to assume suicide without some confirmation from family or friends.

I had a friend who committed suicide and the friend and her family did not want the cause of death public.

The US cause of death is private and would be considered a privacy violation if disclosed by a healthcare provider.

Perhaps in the future, not speculating or disclosing non-public cause of death would still be possible as part of a helpful article.

I apologize if I misread and the cause was publicly known. Even though the contributor’s real name wasn’t used in the article, this can be really sensitive and painful if ever linked to the individual.
