Has the police ruled out any possibility of foul play?

Why did several people downvote it? Seems a legitimate question. I wish people who mod comments down would at least explain why.

  I voted it down because it smelled of HN disease, aka, assuming that because you're really good with computers, you're really good at everything else.

Their investigation of the scene pretty much ruled it out. Autopsy results take 4-10 weeks.

  I apologize in advance if this question is intrusive but is there any possibility it could have been an accident? Sometimes the line can be blurry. Accidental suicides do happen. Especially since there was no note.

    Leaving a suicide note is supposedly a lot less common than our popular belief (from movies or books that depict fictional suicide situations) tell us...

    There's almost no possibility it was accidental. I know it's impossible to stomach and the mind has the find a pattern or assign a reason when facts seem to "not add up". Everyone wants to ask these questions, so I don't fault you for asking.

    Unfortunately, the way I found him pretty much rules that out. I'm foregoing description to be kind to family and friends, but it wasn't something you accidently do. A couple minor things he did directly beforehand which would seem completely innocuous to everybody but me also gives me confidence in the conclusion.

      the way I found him I didn't realize until seeing this that you were the person who found him. Please don't be afraid to seek counselling if you have flashbacks / nightmares / difficulty sleeping / etc -- post-traumatic stress disorder is very commonly experienced by those who find suicide victims.

        Maybe its just me, but there seems to be a stigma regarding the act of seeking counseling. However, people should seek counseling just as often as they would a general practitioner as the mind needs just as much care to stay healthy as does the body. In any case, it's immensely gratifying to have someone who you know will not feel burdened by your issues and can offer you guidance through a very troublesome period of life.

        there seems to be a stigma regarding the act of seeking counseling God no - there is a stigma associated with various things that cause people to seek counseling (justifiably or no)- but this sure isn't one of them. I'm very sorry for all involved.

        True. Without the stigma, you could call it getting help.
