Yes there is. As I mention, I edited the article precisely because it's not fair to draw a causal link.
But to stretch your analogy a little, if Sally was forcefed lard by an angry mob, I'm going to say that had something to do with the state of her health. I'm not saying that the bullying Daphne recieved was the cause of her suicide, just as I wouldn't say that bullying was the cause of the higher suicide rates amongst trans people. But it's extraordinarily likely to have contributed to the state of mental unwellness.
