21 guns for Angelo Reyes

After the national brouhaha regarding the massive corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines being exposed and investigated in the Senate and the House these last few weeks, many high officials (and their wives) are squirming in hot water.
 
One of them is former Armed Forces Chief and Defense Secretary Angelo  Reyes being questioned on receiving   P50-million as "send-off" money for his retirement in 2001 as testified by George Rabusa.
 
And now,
 
Controversial former defense secretary Angelo Reyes was shot, a police official said.
 

15 minutes later, a new update was on the wire: 

Former Armed Forces Chief and Defense Secretary Angelo Tomas Reyes on Tuesday morning committed suicide by shooting himself in front of the grave of his mother at the Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina City.Former Armed Forces Chief and Defense Secretary Angelo Tomas Reyes on Tuesday morning committed suicide by shooting himself in front of the grave of his mother at the Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina City. 
 
 
 
One would immediately think that delicadeza got the best of him, has opted for a hara-kiri of sorts. Respect would be returned to his name. 
 
 
He suffered a gunshot wound to the heart and an external wound to the back.
 
BUT I thought suicides are always headshots, always pointing the gun on the side of the head or in the mouth.
 
So, was it suicide?
