I think there are many other possibilities, but unfortunately, we may never have a more conclusive answer than the one we have now. Without trying to give any particular weight to any of these:
Perhaps he unintentionally died during an "enhanced interrogation", and death by suicide is an officially sanctioned coverup.
Perhaps he died naturally of a heart attack, and for whatever internal reason (to cover for the lack of proper medical response?), the prison decided to report it as a suicide by hanging.
Perhaps he was poisoned by a guard or another inmate simply because accused child molesters don't fare well in prison. The prison decided that declaring it a suicide was better than explaining why their security was so poor.
Perhaps the rumors are true that he was working for an intelligence service (US or foreign) and he was sprung by his employer. The apparent suicide is merely a coverup to explain his sudden absence, with the prison deceived as well.
Perhaps nothing at all has happened to him, but for some reason the prosecution and defense decided that a false story about this was the best way to "flush out" some other offender.
I think the real pressure should be on obtaining proper video evidence of whatever did happen. Who knows if it's true, but there are rumors of camera malfunctions. Like police body cams that seem to avoid recording crucial moments, this would seem incredibly suspicious. Was there ever any video found for his "previous suicide attempt"? If nothing else, perhaps there can be a change in policy so that at least the expectation of video evidence will prevent some future recurrence.
