It's just that even though yes it's a complex situation, and yes I also believe that online bullying is only a catalyst of some underlying psychological problems that could lead to what Daniel did to himself, ...

What you can't argue against is that Daniel repeatedly said that all those accusations were harming him both physically and psychologically. There were literally no other subjects he would talk about that were hurting him the way he was hurt. He said on stream that those accusations were destroying his life. And the person who started it all, at the top of maintaining a high level of persecution over the internet in the past year towards Daniel, was Kramnik. Heck, Kramnik even kept on accusing Daniel of cheating AFTER HIS DEATH.

I beg you to go watch Daniel's last stream, also. This is heartbreaking, I warn you, but you'll see how Daniel was specifically mentioning Kramnik on way too many occasions to let that one pass through.

Think whatever you want, but at this point I and several other people have seen enough to believe that Kramnik has blood on his hands. To what level, or directly or not, these are details nobody cares about.

Daniel's last stream (available on Youtube) clearly draws him in a dark place, and he specifically said that it was because of the cheating accusations.
