A suicidal person may not want a surviving family member or loved ones to live with the stigma of a person who took down over 200 innocent people with him.
If the suicide can not be proven, and the possibility of that something else happened, the family survivors are better off.
Suicide decisions are not always a spur of the moment thing, and can be planned months in advance.-Tom
