Death/Facts

This sentence I think should be revised:

"The cause of Ludwig's death has not been determined, but the three most common theories are assassination, accidental death while trying to escape, and murder/suicide."

The murder of a specific high-ranking or formerly high-ranked member of a ruling government is usually designated as assassination, so the third theory should be just "suicide" (if he drowned himself on purpose); perhaps in the context of the theory it could even be classified 'accidental suicide', if he indeed die as a result of a struggle with a would-be assassin (and even then that would be death as a consequence of self-defense). --Robert W King 12:28, 15 December 2007 (CST)
