It's all about probabilities.
Truth is proof, and the article contains no details to establish this absolutely. So, we are left with supposition.
This wasn't an isolated man with nothing to live for - while his career in AI was over, he'd left it to pursue a moral agenda. Suicide is not likely until AFTER he testifies and discharged this.
The fact he supposedly had documents and a testimony that could heavily harm a company is enough to make it very likely his death was the cost of doing business - why pay a billion in a court case when you can pay a million for a professional hit?
On the balance of probabilities, it looks more likely to be like foul play. As they say, Epstein didn't kill himself.
Exposing billionaires is more fatal than cancer.
