That situation is never suicide, it's "accidental death."

When I hear asphyxiation, I think about garages and motor vehicles. But who really knows? He may have not intended to kill himself, he may have been under the influence of drugs and that impaired him in some fashion.

The poor guy just got out of rehab. He has had substance abuse issues for many years, now, that are no secret. He's also had a history of mental health problems. He's discussed some of this publicly.

It's just a sad situation. A shame for his family and friends left behind. I agree with your take, and think this thread is a bit too snarky, as well.
