Without an understanding of their motive, I think tying "google" to a person's mental health crisis is clickbait. Folks dealing with mental health issues might end their lives for a variety of factors. This is very sad to hear, but the headline (and article) that attempts to connect an employer to a person's death without any evidence is unfair. Note: I do not work for Google.

An employee of Google who jumped from the Google office is a pretty obvious connection. Don't really see how this is clickbait.

Their living in NYC is a more obvious connection, as there are studies showing that urban populations have significantly higher rates of mental disorders.
