(44,973 posts)If he jumped it could be suicide from multiple blunt force injuries.

(651 posts)These positions are political, either appointed or elected and are subject to influences from outside political forces that want a certain judgement to be made. Maybe the examiner is being leaned on by someone that wants the cause of death covered up.

(2,256 posts)It is possible to die from multiple blunt force injuries and still be a suicide. Theres just not enough information publicly available to come to a factual conclusion.
