Why do people commit suicide because of the death of a loved one?
Aside from the many other things that factor into suicide (there are many different reasons, because there is a new one for every person who has done it or tried it), being loved can drive some people crazy, to the point of suicide.
I'd tried to do it several times when I was a teen, though each of the three didn't work because I either chickened out, got my stomach pumped, or was walked in on. There were several months when I thought about it, because it seemed like my problems just kept accumulating. I had this booming social life, and fantastic grades, I was an active member or president of a couple of clubs, and for a teen I was pretty good looking. Though I also was normal, so I partied and snuck things around my family, which was another reason as to why I always felt so weighted.
So of course when you're already doing well, naturally you want to do better. So I was trying to be a complete perfectionist. Slowly, things that were outstanding in my mind started to downgrade to good, average, "wow how could this come from you," etc. Hiding such things didn't help much either. After a while I had this overwhelming feeling of total inadequacy. So I was working really hard to perfect my looks because I thought I was getting fat and misshapen. Then my grades because that A- could have been 105%, or my friends aren't talking to me enough so I have to change how I am around them to make them like me better. Eventually I reached a breaking point and all at once became this reclusive, introverted person that did nothing but sleep and go to school. I hardly talked to my family, dodged confrontation with my peers, and even stopped using mirrors all the time because I simply stopped caring about how I looked.
After about six months of this depression, my parents and friends were frequently giving their best efforts to make me have fun and stop crying or whatever. I knew they loved me, and what made it worse was that I couldn't love them back. So all I wanted to do after that was kill the monster that had taken over me. You know what happened after that.
I was in and out of the hospital for a while, and attended regular sessions with a counselor after I was physically healthy again. Even then I still had depression and I still do, and killing myself is still something that crosses my mind now and again, I've just learned how to cope with it. Knowing that your loved is something that can make you the happiest person in the world, but it's also something that can give you every reason to hate the fact that you can't give them more about you to love.
So in short, being loved and suicide are sometimes elements of the same equation.
What can drive a person to commit suicide?
Suicide can be driven by a complex interplay of factors, including mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or trauma, as well as social factors like feeling isolated, experiencing loss, or facing significant stress or adversity. It is important for individuals contemplating suicide to seek help and support from mental health professionals and loved ones.

Do you really need the Police coming over to your Home if someone Committed Suicide?
If someone has committed suicide, it is important to call emergency services, including the police. They can document the situation, ensure the safety of any individuals involved, and provide support and resources for those affected by the loss. It is always better to involve trained professionals in such circumstances.
What is the immorality of suicide?
Morally, the primary issue with sucide is that you are taking a life, albeit your own. Most moral codes consider human life to be sacred, and worth preserving above all else - that is, most moralities accept the taking of life only when it prevents the taking of other life (self-defense or defense of others), and even there, most moralities tend to very strictly limit the conditions of such killing. Suicide, however, is a tricky concept, and has been delt with very differently by many societies. In addition, the circumstances around the suicide also matter greatly when discussing morality.
In some moralities, sucide is directly contravening the wishes of the Higher Being (God, et al) to preserve life. Suicide can also be seen as self-indulgent (placing the desires of oneself above others), greedy (done for profit), or even coveting (since one cannot have what one wants, deny something to others).
In other moralities, suicide is seen as a noble or honorable concept, where the individual uses suicide to fulfill a social obligation, or protest a great wrong, or even to end great suffering. Here, suicide is seen as an individual taking responsibility for themselves as pertains to that individual's role in society.
In yet other moralities, suicide is judged to be amoral (that is, an action outside morality), as it can be seen as the act of a mind not able to function properly (that is, suicide is an act of insanity, and insane people cannot be held morally responsible for their actions).
Why is the suicide rate so high?
People are dying needlessly - their life situations have overcome them to the point of taking their own lives even when there is treatment and hope available to them (though some may not know where to look).
Answer:
Some suicides are only suicides in name - medical reasons and other factors may enter in and these should be more properly called euthanasia.
Successful suicides are no more of a problem than any other form of unexpected death. Other people clean up, dispose and settle the estate.
Botched suicides are problem as serious health and social problems may result. Often there are lingering medical problems that have to be addressed by the use of limited resources.
Threatened suicides and half hearted attempts are an annoyance like tantrums and graffiti. The people involved need counseling or commitment to a protective facility.
Society puts a burden on the friends and relatives of suicide (we should have known/been there/done something/ offered help/given them what they want) s which is really not theirs, but many buy in.

How much more likely are teens to commit suicide if they are under stress?
In some countries teen suicide is higher because of the stress put on them by family and school, for example South Korea's teen suicide rate is pretty high due to the competitive aspects of school and the value of family. Students in South Korea study more than the students of the US and this causes pressure to be the best especially when everyone else wants to be the best. Family is also very important and if they can't handle the pressure their parents are giving them to do good in school and worrying about failing or ruining the family image, this leads many South Korean students to suicide.

Does society play a role in why some people commit suicide?
Certainly. Society sets two standards that apply to suicide: how suicide is accepted by the society at large, and what transgressions are significant enough to warrant suicide as a viable alternative.
Most Western and European cultures take the Judeo-Christian view that suicide is a sin and thus deplorable. As such, social issues that warrant suicide are few and far between, with the greatest leniency in this few given more towards end-of-life scenarios that involve physical pain.

1. A high profile suicide at an important landmark for mostly political reasons.
2. A series of actions which are very similar to suicide but without anyone dying. Someone who is being defeated may give a farewell speech and make it seem like they are planning their own demise. Then they may live as a sell-out to their people, cause, or self-interests.

Some may include Christianity or another conversion as such. They die to themselves and their old way of being.
