It's strange the Police were originally treating this as a murder enquiry. I wonder what led them to believe that? In case anyone missed it, Chris's body was found hanged.
The below article says they found no evidence of murder and at the inquest Chris's death was ruled an "open conclusion" (I thought it was "open verdict"?).

How odd. Sounds like his family hadn't expected suicide either.

Agreed.
Very strange that the police received an anonymous letter telling them he was dead 3 weeks after his disappearance ( as reported by the BBC on 18th June 2015)
Perhaps it was true that he had been the victim of assault, and knew he was under the threat of death, and this drove him to hang himself.
( However there was no evidence of injury, other than that of hanging.)
Something doesn’t sit right with suicide....as is reflected by the verdict of the inquest.
I wonder if more will ever be known?
Rest in Peace Chris May.
