IIRC part of the coroner's reasoning is that "In a man of his type, one never knows what his mental processes are going to do next."
So essentially they concluded it was suicide because something about Turing (gay? academic? gay academic?) was regarded as indicating instability. I very much doubt a coroner today would follow that reasoning!
