@DrWhere thank you. An amazing read.
Kilmer has turned to friends, politicians and social media in an attempt to block the release. She’s asking people to send an email to the chief coroner requesting that how Ben took his life not be disclosed to the public “given that the visual of how he took his life is not an image you want anyone in your family to be left with.”

That is heartbreaking. Must just kill his wife to know that (and his kids, when they eventually know).News agencies initially agreed not to release details, but then some changed their minds and it's out there now, however you feel about it.
Coroner confirms man who went missing for 5 months took his own life
Honestly, the only thing that's at all unexpected is "An encampment near where the body was found indicates he had been in the area for some time before his death."
I'm guessing that's the detail she was fighting to have withheld. They are clearly withholding some information about it though, since they make no indication of whether they are talking about days/weeks/months.
