I’m not sure that Occam’s Razor applies when the simplest explanation doesn’t fit all of the facts. It may still turn out to be true that he’s just dead, but that still leaves the question of the empty wallets, convenient timing, where he died, and his remains. If we accept his death, we need to make some more assumptions about the disposition of the coins, but if he faked his death we need no further assumptions. In addition faking your own death in this context isn’t exactly unheard of, and he couldn’t have picked a bigger haystack to get lost in.
