New frontiers in moral entrepreneurship: It's apparently no longer ok to say someone 'committed' suicide. You have to say 'died of suicide'. Like, I dunno, a suicide fell out of the sky on their head, or a stranger threw a suicide at them.

This is rubbish. There are plenty of symptoms that are also actions: chorea, snoring.

In normal use, one simply “snores.” And I’m not sure what the convention is for chorea. “Exhibits”? I think that whether an action is voluntary probably has a lot to do with its conventional usages.

In the case of homicide pursuant to a psychological defect, one says 'committed murder during a manic episode' or some such.
