The phrase "killed himself" seems like a really odd choice. I assumed the author meant in some kind of aeronautical accident, but perhaps it's just a really crass way of saying "committed suicide".

As a brit, that reads ok - to me, it does not imply intention. "Fred killed himself whilst overtaking a lorry on the A30" would not imply suicide (but possibly poor judgement).
