> Why did the FBI then start a manhunt on Reddit leading to the suicide of the falsely accused suspect?

You have your facts completely mixed up. The man falsely accused by Reddit, not the FBI, had died a month before the Boston bombings occurred. The entire reason he was accused by Reddit is because he was already known to have been missing. His body was subsequently discovered more than a month after he died.
