I'm curious if he actually said the stop aging part, since it is not in quote yet attributed to him.
That said,
As a person who had been suicidal since I was younger than 10 years old till a few years ago, I can confidently say that no suicide is without foul play. The foul behaviour is just… normal. And socially acceptable as a result. He was probably harassed, which is what usually happens when you question things.
Edit: spelling
If he truly killed himself, I am guessing he was blacklisted from his profession which is a very common retaliation against whistle blowers.
It is one of the things which is very likely to have happened.
