Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is it common for an individual or group to be sued over someone's suicide? I was thinking the defense would argue along lines like, "How do you know what the reason was for someone's suicide" - do lawsuits like this succeed?

In fact, I would go further: Your backyard is generally not a good place for a shallow grave.
People! Shallow graves are bad. A wood chipper and a secluded spot on a river is all you need. Just be sure to thoroughly hose down the wood chipper afterward.

I can't even.
Shallow graves are bad. A wood chipper and a secluded spot on a river is all you need.
Alternatively, pig farm (Everything in life I learned from Snatch).

This is where I show my complete lack of pop culture references, because I know about wood chippers thanks to my friend who majored in forensic anthropology.
