As much as I detest suicide, given the choice between that and autoerotic asphyxiation, I think I'd prefer suicide. When someone suicides, the prevailing public reaction is usually either a disgusted "what a waste" type (which is my reaction) or a sad "oh what a pity/tragedy" type. But when someone's trying to get their rocks off, fails miserably at it and dies, the reaction is usually along the lines of "what a freak", "how disgusting", "I can't believe anyone would do that to themselves", "Darwin wins again", etc.
Sure, it doesn't matter to the dead guy because he's worm food either way, but I think the reaction towards the family and friends left behind would be a little more sympathetic and "it's sad that you lost a loved one" as opposed to a thinly veiled negative reaction because everyone now knows that your dead relative was a little bit weird.
But if you add murder into the list of choices, I'd definitely pick that as the way to go.
I remember back in the mid 1990s there was a rash of suicides at WVU with foreign exchange students from East Asia. Except they were not suicides as the State Trooper proudly stately "We are trained to tell the difference" Auto-erotic asphxiation was in vogue back then and more than a few had gone bad on campuses.

At least we know that David Caradine didn't commit suicide. It was kinky sex gone bad.
