> No motive for the suicide was established. Turing was in good spirits

These are common misunderstandings of suicidality. Suicide often doesn't have a clear motive. And people who end their lives are often described as being in good spirits before they die. Sometimes they're trying to protect their families from their feelings of despair. Sometimes they've felt trapped for some time and they see suicide as a route out of that despair.
