It's the new politically correct way of saying "committed" suicide. My understanding is that it's to lesson the accusatory stigma and shifting the blame away from the will of the individual to the state of their mental health, similar to how you would say someone died from a heart attack instead of died by eating a cheeseburger at every meal.
There’s no evidence he died any other way. Just because we all believe you-know-who would do it doesn’t mean he did. If you know it was homicide, do you also buy the National Enquirer for the latest news about aliens?
