I wouldn't describe being held in custody pending extradition as "being free". YMMV.

  Yes and no. It's not like I'd expect him to carry a cyanide pill and just as he's about to be arrested swallows it to be technically correct. I think this qualifies "dying free" in spirit since his death means objection to remaining in custody.

    Just to be clear: We're saying it's admirable to kill yourself rather than face the consequences of your illegal behavior? That's what we're respecting in this thread? The man was believed to have committed a litany of offenses including attacking other humans but "he was so respectable because he never let them convict him"? "Bad rich guy kills himself in pathetic attempt to avoid justice" would be my preferred headline personally.
