i respectfully disagree Aknow, this was his third or fourth suicide attempt by similar (hanging) means.
and if someone killed him, i think there would have been signs of a struggle in the room, that has not been reported.
i do think he was a chickenshit to do it with his 2-year-old just feet away.
there will be no funeral, just cremation, probably today.

In her first words since her husband Mark Madoff committed suicide on Saturday, his widow said today that his body was cremated and that his death has left her "devastated."
Stephanie Madoff said in a statement that a private gathering is planned in his memory.
Madoff’s body was claimed from the morgue by a funeral director on Tuesday, although no wake or funeral was held.
In the statement, she said Madoff had been cremated and said there would be a private memorial service "later this week at an undisclosed location."
She also said she appreciated the expressions of "heartfelt sympathy and support she had received" from people who knew her husband.
Martin London drives while a woman believed to be Stephanie Madoff is seen through the widow.
"I will miss and love him forever," she said.
The 46-year-old Madoff was the son of imprisoned financier Bernie Madoff, who confessed to running a massive Ponzi scheme.
"My husband Mark took his own life," said Stephanie Madoff, "and regardless of what you feel about my father-in-law and his monstrous crimes, Mark's children are innocent victims and this is tragic for them. I am devastated and now raising two small children alone."
She added, "I ask that you please show decency and understanding toward all of Mark's children and allow us to mourn in private."
