suicide or just death?

All they found in his apartment was starter fluid and a garbage bag over his head. I don’t see how that could have killed him

Well (not to sound morbid) he puts lighter fluid in the bag and places the bag over his head to suffocate

A garbage bag over someone’s head would cause suffocation from lack of oxygen, but the medical examiner would be able to tell if that was the exact cause of death. this sounds like the person was “huffing” lighter fluid to get high.

I’m assuming you’re asking whether the “manner” of death was suicide, accidental, or natural.

It’s hard to tell from the information you’re giving, so it’s not possible to be certain. The medical examiner will be able to tell for sure. My assumption from your information is that this is not a natural death. It could be a suicide or it could be accidental from an auto-erotic death event, or from “huffing” lighter fluid, which would also be considered an accidental death by overdose of the chemical or by suffocation.

My condolences to you and the person’s family.

The garbage bag alone could have suffocated him. He could’ve drunk the starter fluid, then thrown it up, aspirated it with the garbage bag over his head, & suffocated on his vomit.

Any good detective will be able to determine the cause of death within time.
