I once went up at lunchtime to see the dent in the ground when someone not famous jumped from the William Wallace monument in Stirling. There was still some fresh blood there, and police tape to keep people away.
There are many famous people whom I neither knew, nor do I know how they died.
John Smith died of a heart attack I believe. A heart attack is a fairly simple cause of death to register. Inhalation of vomit is another common cause of death. The cause of death, and the other factors surrounding a death, may create a confusion regarding the actual straw that breaks the camel's back.
For example, a heart attack could have been brought about by poison, a sudden bang of a door or many other factors.
How can anyone decide if a suicide occurred? It is a subjective judgement for which the truth could only be known if there was a witness. The only true witness would be dead, and so suicide can never be a cause (only a conclusion).

Michael Hutchinson> I would like Elvis to come bak of course! I'd ask him what it felt like to be such an icon and did he ever just want to be himself? Also Marilyn Monroe, I'd ask her what really happened with the Kennedy's!

Elvis would be interesting. I'd ask him if he regrets dying on the lav.
Nice question by the way. Very cheery. Merry Christmas. LOL

Judy Garland (Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz) died of a drug overdose. Kinda weird to think that "Dorothy" could do something like that, huh?
