My thought is that there is no evidence that the woman being much older than the teenager had anything to do, per se, with him committing suicide. Teenagers sometimes commit suicde when someone they are infatuated with or "in love" with stops seeing them. In fact I could expand that to say "People sometimes do that." It could be that the only way in which her age played a role is that it caused others to threaten her into putting a stop to the affair.
But the teenager might just as readily have ended his own life if the female that cut him off was 14. I think it's false inference for people to imply that the fact that she was 30 was a factor. Again: Except for the fact that her being 30 played a role in others pressuring her into ending the relationship.
