I don't remotely mean to be unkind.

But if one of my three daughters deliberately decided to lie down in the path of a bulldozer, didn't move when it was obvious the bulldozer wasn't stopping, and got run over, I'd grieve like any parent.

And I would at least scratch my head and wonder where I had gone wrong in her education.

Well there would be the problem. At no point should you ever question whether or not you messed her up, because the minute you accept any blame for helping to turn her into a raving activist - who dumbed herself into an early death by espousing the cause of some of the most intractable people on the planet - you would have to stop blaming the rest of the world.

Personal feelings aside, any real introspection would be negative public relations for the cause. After all, as a dead "victim," she's of inestimably greater value than a live "protestor" to whatever group can successfully prop her corpse up for the cameras (metaphorically speaking). The ends justify the means, the ends justify the means, the ends justify the means...
