Can you solve this riddle?

A woman is sitting in her bed reading a book. She then closes the book, turns off the light, and goes to sleep. The next morning, the woman reads the daily newspaper and discovers a boat had crashed and sunk the night before, and all of its passengers had died as well. The woman then kills herself.

Why?

The woman is a lighthouse keeper. When she had turned off the light the night before, the boat had no light to see through the darkness, so it crashed and sank. The woman killed herself out of guilt of causing the deaths of all those passengers.
