Can a relative be arrested if I CTB and they knew of my depression but were not aware that I'd actually follow through with doing it? A relative I'm living with says that they could go to jail for neglecting my condition if i do it. To me this seems rather irrational and unheard of. It's my life; my choice. If i were to CTB why would some one close to me be legally penalized for my decision, especially since that decision has no effect on the person besides emotional and financial complications and suicide is not legally penalized in the state. I tried searching for the laws related to suicide in my state (Florida) but only found regulations to prevent suicide.
To offer more context: I'm not a citizen nor am I an illegal immigrant. I'm residing here on student visa and currently on medical leave from college.
I've never before heard of someone being arrested for some else's suicide unless they where deliberately helping the person to commit the act, but my relative does not want to help me CTB (unfortunately).
Any insight on the issue would be greatly appreciated.
