I think is quite possible that he didn’t want to face the music and committed suicide, wasn’t he supposed to be watched because he tried before?

One article I read said he had teams of lawyers coming in at all hours doing different shifts, to the point that it was angering the other inmates.

ON EDIT: Or paid a guard?

I'm probably wrong. This theory is slightly ridiculous, I guess. I just can't imagine him hanging himself while on Suicide Watch. It takes some time to hang one's self, one would think.
