I think it perfectly reasonable that there were people watching who were egging him on maliciously. And frankly, I can't fathom how you would egg someone on to suicide without malice. It's malicious whether you think the person in question is serious or not.
And again, I want to state that I'm not calling for the arrest of these people - just trying to stretch the ropes a bit.

I'm sure that it was unintended, but I laughed at the pun at the end anyway. This guy stretched a rope all on his own...
Is it criminally malicious if you watch someone commit suicide on tape?
Is it criminally malicious if you watch someone commit suicide online?
Is it criminally malicious if you watch someone commit suicide in the same roome?
Is it criminally malicious if you yell "jump"?
Is it criminally malicious if you hand him the rope?
Is it criminally malicious if you kick the chair out from under him?
Is it criminally malicious if you tie the rope around his neck, lift him bodily and throw him out a window?
I chose examples that are a mix of "yes" and "no's" in my mind.
