Suicide. Newspapers have a policy of not reporting suicides in detail. It is pretty apparent, given the vagueness of this article.
Suicide is a choice, like it or not.

the vagueness is due to details not being complete and family notified etc...these things take time. you didn't hear about the results of the womens body in the river when Herzog arrived did you?

Have heard they can't find the next of kin for the deceased.. Not sure if's true or just more rumors.. But it would make sense as to why no name has been told.
