I hadn't been following this story before, but this is terrible news and is going to deepen the rift in Argentine society against CFK.
Nisman evidently only made his allegations public on January 14, which wouldn't have given Argentine or Iranian secret agents much time to plan a more plausible murder than a forced suicide. On the other hand, it seems likely that Argentine intelligence would have had some knowledge of what he was investigating prior to him going public with the 300 page report.
It looks to me like Nisman was threatened with violence against himself and loved ones if he went through with his investigation, and was forced to kill himself. No note, no personal reasons for suicide. This was orchestrated from behind the scenes. We'll never know the details.
