conradiction?

Kind Gurus,
I am having difficulty in deciphering right meaning of the following sentence.
They refused to believe that he could have committed suicide.

My doubt is whether he committed suicide or not committed suicide.

Thanks.

My doubt is whether he committed suicide or not committed suicide. We don't know. We don't even know, without context, whether he even died.

This is exactly what I was thinking. So context is necessary.
Thanks a lot.
