[Cry if I Wanna]

Suicide by “asphyxia.” What exactly does that mean? Did he hang himself? Any retired police officers out there who can clarify this for me?

Yes...it is reported he hung himself

Maybe was drunk, passed out and threw up and choked.
Actor William Holden died from a small cut on his head. He fell and hit his head and was so drunk he did not dress the wound and died from loss of blood.
