I tried searching for this but the only thing I found was someone who was unsure.

Will melancholy or crazy dwarves respect burrows? I'm pretty sure berzerks don't.. what with being enemies and all. but I'd like to assign the suicide candidate crazies to some remote corner of the fort where their death doesn't have to be witnessed. Nothing ruins a good party like uncle urist starving to death in the corner.

I don't think they do, no.

An interesting affect of dwarves witnessing death often is that they become jaded to death, so it might actually be a good thing for uncle urist to die in front of Urist Mcinnocentchild.

Being jaded is a great thing for sure, but the ability to lock away the crazies as a tantrum spiral is in control ... it could make a life/death difference in a pinch!

Especially with the new death system in the next update. No one saw him die? He's "missing"!  I'll try this out next time my fortress goes into the toilet(might be a long time until then so feel free to experiment) and, believe you me, if one actually can confine the crazies then they are going to see a whole lot less uncle urists dying... and a whole lot more uncle urists mysteriously disappearing!
