It is now taken as an article of truth that Ortiz drove him to suicide. Is there any direct evidence that he did it because of the prosecution or is it only assumed?

I agree with everything here.

Most of what I've read approaches hagiography. I can't help but wonder if some of the fawning praise heaped upon him, and his elevation to a hero partaking in an epic battle between Good and Evil was no less a contribution to his death than the supposed bullying of the prosecutor.
