What drove 12 year old Archie to take his own life?

SassyBitch said-

We're assuming he did this.

How do we know 

a) It's not a cover up. Someone else did it - or

b) someone did something to him and them made out he put it round his neck. They finished the job to cover up hurting him.

Strangulation leaves different marks and effects to hanging. 

I find it odd in a modern house, she says he fell 8 feet. There's not that much to fall and if he was hanging already, probably only a few feet.
