What if you enlisted your kid to help you secure your house, and he shot himself with the gun you gave him?

The kid in this case didn't die from cancer though. The kid died from a stroke. I'm not sure to what degree the stroke can be associated with the cancer, treatment or lack thereof.
It also wasn't a preventable death because it only has a 75% survival rate. The kid could have done the chemo and still died. At that point do we blame the medical community and government in the same manner that the parents are being blamed?
