beating does not necessiarily casue death maybe the beaten person dies of heart attack for which he has been susceptible genetically from birth still it seems reasonable to label beating related deaths like that a person having beaten and dying soon afterwards reasonably dies related to that analogically a massive cyberbullying case that makes objectively mesurable neurotic symptoms is reasonably related to a death if the death occurs soon or in that context of course the person may have emotional labilities from earlier but following the beating and heart attack analogy i think the no direct casue and effect argument goes to far
