I am writing a book, and a character commits suicide in the presence of someone else. They are both minors. There was nothing the girl could do from stopping the suicide. A suicide note was left with the family. The girl testifies that it was suicide. Would the girl who witnessed it be a suspect of murder? How long would it take for police to confirm that it was in fact a suicide? How much would the witness be questioned? (Her record is clear). I just really need to make this realistic, so if anyone knows what exactly happens after something like this takes place in real life, please give me all the information you have. THANK YOU!
