Can't see the forest for the trees.

The problem isn't that this guy might have killed himself. The problem is that the death rate of whistleblowers is very high. That makes every individual case much more suspect, and should be held to higher standards of scrutiny. And they aren't. So we complain.

There's also the possibility of him receiving threats so horrible he was coerced into suicide. "No foul play" just seems so incredibly unlikely.
