They are simplify avoiding using the word "committed" using a well accepted alternative because of the connotation with criminal behavior.
But no they would say "died by homicide" not "died by murder".

Would they not say "was killed" and so allow "killed himself/herself"?
Maybe "were driven to suicide by..." to properly describe the situation?
