This by itself should be setting off alarms; I don't know of any jurisdiction where an apparent suicide wouldn't automatically be treated as a potential homocide and be sent immediately for a post-mortem exam....
>In the year 2000, his tax records show he gave �15,000 to the foundation

Another clue that this death wasn't really a suicide -- if he was that devout a Catholic to donate approximately $5000 a year to the local church, he surely believed the Catholic tenet of suicide being a mortal sin that would condemn his soul to hell...

Doesn't sound like someone who thought his situation was hopeless....
