I doubt it would of been suicide, as Rodney spoke with the BBC recently and said that he was engaged, getting his life back on track and feeling positive.

All he did was get beaten up. His death shouldn't be covered by media outlets.

He was famous for what happened to him.

When someone famous dies, the media feeds on this.

Many people read the story.

Media makes money.

Simple.

Believe it or not, the incidents caused by his beatings somewhat were. The riots towards the end of the single-player missions are actually heavily based off of the Los Angeles Riots that were started because of the officers who beat him getting off easily in court.
