1) The addict killed himself. To die as a result of risky living of any kind is a form of legal suicide.
2) The second man. Compaasion implies selflessness, giving of yourself. The first man may be considered wiser, more suspicious, realistic, biased, selfish; but he didn't act out of compassion.
I think he might have acted out of compassion or might not of. The first man defenately did act out of compassion. In such a position, I would have asked the addict if he wanted food. If said yes, I take to a grocery store and buy food for him. By the way, one could say the dealer killed the addict. Or even the authorities, who failed to obtain him and put him in rehab
