I went to a death investigation class several years ago where the chief medical examiner for Bexar Country, Texas, said he suspected every single "gun cleaning accident" death he'd seen was a suicide. Either the dead guy himself would set it up (for insurance or family reasons) or the family would find a suicide victim and put some gun cleaning stuff around before calling the cops.

If you think about it, it would be pretty hard to fatally shoot yourself while cleaning a gun.
