Suicide is a category of death but it isn't exactly a "cause".
Did he hang himself?...take poison?...slash his wrists?...jump
in front of an express train?

Right. Homicide, accidental, natural causes, are findings. The cause is
the trauma or disease.

US Weekly looked at the coroner's file; it's still open.

He hung himself according to his Wikipedia entry. I'm suspecting some
auto-erotic asphyxiation scenario gone bad, not an intended act of self
destruction...
