If someone robs a bank and someone inside dies of a heart attack, thats felony murder. I would be happy if the same applied to ransom attacks or other blackmail/leaking of info. If someone commits suicide because of it, its murder.

felony murder is pretty widely regarded as a leading factor in incredibly unjust prosecutions and sentencing decisions. perhaps not the best concept to build your ideas on top of.
