I doubt it would be a suicide, i mean with a big pension still to take up from a high ranking position, no point in suicide.
Accidental death mayhaps?
Could be a murder considering as he is a police cheif he's bound to have made enemies in his time, political or otherwise.
My guess is he drank too much alcohol and fell down a well.

Or, to put it another way, guess.

He seems to have gotten into difficulty while walking.

.
Financial reasons are the only reason for suicide?
When did that rule kick in?

Well they aren't the only reason but they have a bloody huge impact on your happiness.
Other than that, i suppose you could refute that by saying he lived in a stressful job and wanted to die to escape. but i dissmissed that idea because there's loads of other stressful jobs too, and it would probably have been said by the news folks if he did suffer from oohh i don't know depression? Then again he might have not told anyone, arg i'm going in circles here.

Can we make up lurid details?
Such as:
- His face was frozen in a mask of objective horror.
- He was involved in an embezzling scandal.
- Investigations revealed that he had run for almost twelve kilometers straight before tripping over a rock within the clearing in which he died. (It was a clearing, right?)
- Huge footprints, thrice the size of a man's and bearing no resemblance to those of any living creature, were found in places near the body.
- He was cheating on his wife with an attractive married woman.
- Police investigators who found his body all later died in exactly the same way.
Et cetera, et cetera.
If so, I posit that the Canadians did it. You can't trust 'em. *nods*
So. What do you think happened?
My hypothesis is that in some way or another his vital organs ceased to function.
