Who is responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet?

I'm thinking that it is the messenger's fault as he did not deliver the message to Romeo about the potion that Juliet drank so Romeo killed himself and then Juliet saw him dying and killed her self but if the message had been delivered, Romeo wouldn't have killed himself therefore Juliet wouldn't have killed herself.

Interested what other might think on the subject? Was it the messenger's fault or was it Romeo and Juliet? Let me know what you think?

Personally, I would say that it was their (Romeo and Juliet) own fault. They acted hastily and allowed their emotions to get the better of their judgment. It is understandable though seeing as they were both still teenagers at that time. But the fact that they both just met and immediately married - - all within a week! - - shows just how impulsive they are.
