Guy potentially ruined his life for telling me to kill myself

I'm not entirely sure how correct this story is for this subreddit... but it might fit.

I work for an IT company that does tech support. We receive calls for help, we try to help.

This guy called up asking for help to remove a piece of software that required administrator rights. Pretty standard, nothing special. However, the computer he was requesting help with was his own personal computer. Obviously, we don't have any access or control over random people's computers. I have zero way I can help him without the admin account, and he said he doesn't know the account.

The software was some kind of parental management software that restricts him from doing things. This guy is in his early 20s. I know this because we can see the details of the people that call us on our system. So... kind of hilarious, he has this software installed.

Anyway, after I tell him that I cannot help him, he ends up telling me that I work for a trash company and that I should kill myself.

I don't even respond, and he hangs up the phone.

Now... obviously the calls are recorded, and I'm not going to just ignore what just happened.

I tell my manager the story.

He listens to the phone call.

My manager then calls the liaison for the company he called from. They find out that this guy is an intern at the company. He now no longer works for the company. During the call, they decide to get the CEO on the phone and tell him what happened.

Shortly after that call, the CEO lets us know that he called the university that the guy is currently going to. The University has now dropped him from all his classes.

This guy has now lost his intern job, and lost his placement in University, all because he told me to kill myself on the phone.
