Albert Ayler definitely didn't commit suicide, and it's pretty likely that he was killed in a hate crime. We'll never know for sure because his death was never honestly investigated by the state.

If he jumped or was pushed off the Brooklyn Bridge he’d have a bunch of broken bones which could probably still be identified if he was exhumed. He was found supposedly drowned in the East River. He was missing for 20 days before his body was found. There are definitely unanswered questions. I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that he jumped or fell off a ferry. If he was murdered I think it was probably the police. He may have been wrongfully arrested and then when the police found out he was a famous musician they killed him.
