Moreover, Dragovic said, these types of deaths are not suicides. That fits into the classification of homicide. Suicide is a very narrow category that involves self-infliction.

We wouldn't send an unknowing employee into that kind of situation. A housekeeper at his inn was on her regular rounds last July 2 when she found Lynn Lennox's body in a room, Tap said. The manager and his staff then developed a policy for dealing with assisted suicides.
