> In August, he was found dead while in federal custody. Interesting choice of words.

  Not sure about the US but in the UK newspapers avoid the word suicide because that's a conclusion reached by coroners, and the paper is normally reporting the death before the coroner's inquest has happened.

    Also in AU it's not often used to avoid copycats. Generally news reports state "there were no suspicious circumstances" followed by a footer with phone numbers to crisis / help lines.

    I thought that was the conclusion reached by the coroner.
