Every death is the natural death of the person. Unless you force the free will (illusion)/spiritual ideology upon everyone. All death comes without choices in a world where all experiences are factored from the preceding events. A person who dies by suicide didn't choose it. Similar to a person who dies from old age.

The concept of free will does not inherently rely on the concept of a spirit.

It may be in your philosophy, and I'm not arguing that. But it's not universal.

I didn't mean to imply spirit and should have wrote religious.
