My deepest sympathies
There is no correlation between roleplaying and suicide as far as I know. At the time I got into the game (some two decades ago), there were a few spectacular reports, one highly disinformational movie and no scientific information whatsoever. Later, scientific studies were made and what they showed was a slight negative correlation, ie the number of suicides in the roleplaying populace was a little lower than the average. Today and in recent years, roleplaying is more commonplace and addresses a wider audience, so I would assume that the ratio today would be about average.
