Friar lawrence is some what responsible for Romeo's death. Friar Lawrence gave the letter to Friar John explaining Juliet's plan to fake kill herself. But because of the plague (which was very common back then) Friar John was delayed and could not deliver the letter to Romeo in Mantua. Romeo found out from Balthasar that Juliet was dead (when really it was the poison and she was not dead). He then ran to the Capulets tomb to kill himself in order to be with her in heaven.
Friar Lawrence sent the note to Romeo on the same day of Juliet's supposed death.
"Banishment? Be kind, say death!" Romeo kind of goes off the rails when he realizes that he cannot be in the same town as Juliet. Friar Lawrence has to shake him up and make him see reason--that things could be much worse.

Friar Lawrence believes that Romeo's punishment is a lenient one given the circumstances, as the Prince could have chosen a more severe punishment for his actions. He notes that the Prince is showing both mercy and wisdom in his decision to exile Romeo rather than sentencing him to death.
Balthasar and Friar Lawrance
Friar Lawrence sends a letter to Romeo, who is in Mantua, detailing his plan to fake the death of Juliet, and have Romeo bring her to Mantua where they can both live happily ever after. He gives the letter to Friar John, who is supposed to bring the letter to Romeo ASAP. Friar John never makes it to Romeo, because he was quarantined due to an outbreak of the Plague. Therefore, he brought the letter back to Friar Lawrence. This messed up Friar Lawrence' plan, as he had already set it in motion.
The drug given by Friar Lawrence to Juliet is meant to induce a death-like coma. This allows Juliet to avoid marrying Paris and gives Friar Lawrence time to reunite her with Romeo.
Romeo's part in the Friar's plan is to fake his own death by drinking a potion that will make him appear lifeless. The Friar's plan is for Romeo to be placed in the Capulet tomb until Juliet can join him there after faking her own death.
he died.. romeos
Friar John, who was sent as a messenger to Romeo from Friar Lawrence, was unable to deliver the letter. Because their was some kind of disease issue going on in Mantua that Friar John can't stand it. so, Romeo ended up with no letter receiving and was unable to know that Juliet was faking the death.
Juliet meets Friar Lawrence at his cell, where they form a plan to fake her death using a potion that will make her appear lifeless. She hopes to avoid marrying Paris and reunite with Romeo.
