In the U.S., failing to prevent a suicide is not generally considered a criminal act. However, there are certain circumstances, such as the duty of care owed by mental health professionals or caretakers, where negligence could lead to legal consequences if their failure to act is deemed to have contributed to the suicide. Laws vary by state, and specific cases may involve civil liability rather than criminal charges.
