Friar Lawrence is definitely responsible for Juliet's death. One of the reasons is because Friar gave the vial to Juliet without any medical proofs of how it is going to work. And of course, Juliet has thought that she was going to die. He should've also known that the marriage was going to come soon. Juliet also shows that she is planning on suicide and the Friar gets startled. Also, when the Friar arranges the funeral, it sounds like that she's really dead. Below are some textual evidences.

1. 4.1 Line 1 "On Thursday, sir? The time is very short." (Friar)

2. 4.3 Lines 21-22 "Come vial. What if this mixture do not work at all?" (Juliet)

3. 4.1 Line 55 "And with this knife I'll help it presently" (Juliet)

4. 4.5 Lines 71-73 "Peace, ho, for shame! Confusion's cure lives not In these confusions. Heaven and yourself Had part in this fair maid"

5. 4.5 Line 81 "O, in this love you love your child so ill"
