While pulling this stunt was irresponsible, did the culprits even have the faintest idea this guy would have killed himself over it?

Manslaughter is homicide without malice aforethought.

Yes, but "manslaughter" is only applicable when your actions cause the death of someone else. The two miscreants certainly caused anguish and in the mind of this student terribly ruined his life. But those reprehensible actions did NOT cause his death.

I’ll bet the courts will decide that question.
