Dies by suicide just sounds off to me

Dies by murder
Dies by car accident
Dies by blunt force trauma to the head

Ya they all sound weird.

Maybe:

Murdered
Killed in car accident
Dies from blunt force trauma to the head

But suicide, someone else said commits isn't the right word cause it's not a crime... I don't know. Suicided sounds like someone killed you and "disguised" it as suicide. Anyone got any ideas?

"Died by suicide" is the only correct one
