The last time Murdoch was seen he was walking about on the boat deck, I do believe. Some people do indeed say they saw him shoot himself, but then again, people swore the Titanic did not tear in half, so I guess we can't always believe what people recall in a matter of emergency such as this.

As for how he died, if I recall correctly, when his body was found they discovered damage to his head. Whether is was a gun shot or simply a blunt object, such as a ceiling beam falling on him, wasn't determined.

I do know a lady who really believes in her past life she was Murdoch's wife, and in her present life his ghost is haunting her. She loves it and even refers to this ghost as her husband. :)
