The date of Ed Bucks federal criminal trial has been moved from Nov. 26 of this year to Aug. 4, 2020. Buck, who is being held in Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, will remain in prison until then.

Buck, 63, a white gay man known for his donations to Democratic Party candidates and successful push for West Hollywood to adopt a ban on fur sales, is facing two federal charges of providing drugs resulting in death and three counts of distributing methamphetamine.

Probably more time is needed to set up a suicide in the Los Angeles jail. LA is still pretty new to this stuff and do not have the playbook for ordered suicides down pat, like the New York Police dept./Prison system does.
Give them time. They will learn.
