Criminally negligent manslaughter.  She had the power, and therefore responsibility, to prevent the suicide but instead she encouraged it.  She was a direct insitigating factor in his death.  She is therefore complicit. 

If people choose to kill themselves then they have every right to do that. Nobody has a responsibility to stop them, or should be punished for not doing so.

But if the messages are anything to go by it is reasonable to believe he wouldn't have killed himself if it wasn't for her. 

She continuously reminded him that he 'had' to do it, that he said he would and must do it. Even though he was 'stalling' in her words and had things coming up, his reluctancy was obvious. She continuously manipulated him using language commonly found in child groomers to get him to commit suicide. 

It's not like he said he wanted to do it and she said 'yeah sure go for it' that is no where near what happened here.
