Suicide is most often neither rational not predictable. If it was we as a society would be better at preventing it.
So the argument that it couldn't be suicide because there is no rational explanation is a non sequitur. The argument is intrinsically flawed.
It's a bit like having an error in some software code causing a program to execute incorrectly, and then saying there couldn't be an error because the program wasn't designed d to execute that way.
Thing of a person contemplating suicide as analogous to a failure mode in some equipment. If there is a failure mode, all bets are off.
How was GermanWings rational?
To paraphrase Sherlock, when the other explanations are inplausible, the remaining explanation becomes the most likely.
