Well, I'd say the suicide risk is <purely> theoretical... :)

It's actually not all that uncommon--synthesis of related and
unclassified or lower classification information can easily create a
derivative work that is classified, or similar ancillary considerations
inadvertently can move information beyond the scope a an individual's
particular "need to know" barriers as determined by a derivative
classifier.  (BTDT from both the origination side as well as serving as
a derivative classifier making such a determination.)
