The murder of a specific high-ranking or formerly high-ranked member of a ruling government is usually designated as assassination, so the third theory should be just "suicide" (if he drowned himself on purpose); perhaps in the context of the theory it could even be classified 'accidental suicide', if he indeed die as a result of a struggle with a would-be assassin (and even then that would be death as a consequence of self-defense). --[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 12:28, 15 December 2007 (CST) | |||
