I thought the ruling was that he hadn't commited suicide. I know it is a subtle difference in wording, but doing something dangerous and stupid without intending it to end in your death can end as "killing yourself" without being suicide.
It’s all too arcane for me.
He was a 72 year-old divorcee from Hollyweird, he was in Bangkok, he had a known fondness for “ropes”.
I think it’s pretty clear what happened.
