Manner of death

[edit]

An editor has previously listed the manner of death as suicide without any citations or references. However, Siddal's obituary states that her dead was adjudicated as an accident. In either case, the cause of death was a drug overdose.

While I know that some have speculated that Siddal's death was a suicide, this is, after all, speculation. I think that in the absence of proof, it is better to accept the legal explanation that Siddal's death was accidental. I therefore will remove suicide as a manner of death, & leave the official cause, an accident. Peaceray (talk) 08:11, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
