If they didn't, how were they not doing the right thing? They reported potential bullying to a manager. Bullying *has* caused people to kill themselves and it does occur in a *lot* or workplaces. The victims of bullying often do not report the bullying. This is why bullies are often so successful.
I am not, as I said earlier, defending the actions of the company. Based on the facts as presented (which I am sure do not tell the whole story anyway), I don't see why the company would have done anything worse than have a quick word with the man who said the comment.

He also went to his friends funeral and was shattered.
" The black man, who is believed to have attended Mr Amor’s funeral and had known him for many years, is said to be ‘shattered’
