I also just realized that I didn't see that last paragraph. Maybe I missed it cuz I was on mobile at the time. I guess like I said in the last response, a look at that "universal guilt" concept and killing oneself might be better explored in another story. In this case, Ben's mom had obviously died from the illness he had created, and having no parents and basically killing his own mother, he took his life as a result. Also, you could say he did it to avoid any kind of responsibility he took from starting the illness.
