Hard to say. Suicides rarely have a single cause. A layoff can be a trigger, but you rarely kill yourself from that alone if you life a pretty decent life outside of work.
Usually I go with “you are responsible of your own actions and words, not what other do or says about it”. So unless he personally pushed someone to suicide, or ordered someone to be bullied to the point of suicide, no, I don’t think he’d be responsible.
And in the current case, did he cause any direct or indirect death? Did he chose to cause someone death?
Depends. What do you think about a suicide as a response from being laid off?

The concept of “kill line” is incompatible with such a view point.
Care to explain? That’s not something I heard about.
