Surprised by ASC releasing DFDR readout quickly - yes. Surprised by NTSC - well, not exactly, bearing in mid the outcome of MI185 investigation. Regarding the country of registration and nationality of the captain, stakes are far higher now but DFDR and CVR are read out so evasion will be more difficult.

In the Indonesian case no-one, not a single mention on PPRuNe I think, suggested a suicide.
It is possible that recorders' readouts prompted NTSC to jump the gun.
