Read the tweet

The tweet says "Please keep speculation to yourself and be respectful of his family and friends." To me that reads as suicide.

Unfortunately this is always an unrealistic request for anyone with a public profile. Those that have no desire to speculate won’t, and it’s not going to stop the curious. Frankly I tend to agree it is moreover an unreasonable request as long as no one is actively invading the privacy of the family.

#27Could we respect the wish of those close to the deceased to keep speculation as to the cause of death private?
No. It is not their place to try to restrain the curiosity of others.

#29Dan is a legend and great defender of the internet. His research made us safer, and his guidance made us more secure. We will miss you Dan, and may your memory and spirit resolve and soar through the clouds.

you didn't even follow the ask of the tweet you quoted. TF?
No, I don't think it's a reasonable request. The best way to forestall speculation is to just say what happened. Presumably his family already knows so it's not going to shock them.
