I agree. Suicide victims have no agency.

Can't tell if this is flippant or serious, but in case it's the former I'll just put it like this: where does agency come from? The brain right? And the brain is just an organ, the same as your heart or lungs.
If your lungs aren't working properly because you're sick or because you're drowning, you can't breath. No one blames lung cancer victims for having trouble breathing.
Similarly, if the organ responsible for making choices isn't working properly then you're going to have less agency, just like someone with a collapsed lung has less breath. Blaming someone for dying from a mental illness just means you are denying that the brain is an organ which can get sick the same as your heart or lungs.
