This is really sad but this sentence bothered me. Wu left no apparent suicide note and there was no sign of an intrusion or struggle. Officers also ruled out death from COVID as he tested negative for the virus.

If he would have tested positive would this have be3n registered as a Covid death.

Absolutely not. Falling from a balcony is never recorded as a Covid death.

Also, you act like there's no more evidence in the article. It says he:

- fell from a balcony when he was alone

- complained to relatives that he was depressed due to losing money in the Terra scam

- had no other known illnesses

So it's pretty safe to conclude that he committed suicide due to depression, and the depression was caused by gambling and losing on Terra.
