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?

I'm thinking he didn't hang himself. That's why I posted on another thread about something like cyanide.

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.
