I'm assuming 'it' refers to the death, as to whether s/he is better placed on LGBT. Prison suicide following desperate please to be in with the lasses, so hard to place.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 20, 2015 A convicted killer who had served 25 years behind bars died after taking an insulin overdose in one of Britain's top security prisons, an inquest has heard. Diabetic Philip Whiteman died in hospital three weeks after he was found unresponsive in his cell at Durham's Frankland Prison last November. The 46-year-old was serving life after he used his dressing gown belt to strangle a fellow patient at the high security Ashworth Hospital, Liverpool, in 1990.

Rigas (91), founder of Adelphia Communications, and ex-owner of the Buffalo Sabres: http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/adelphias-rigas-asks-for-release-from-prison-20151214 His company was a big player in the US cable television industry until it went bankrupt of internal corruption and Rigas went to prison. Now he's seeking a compassionate release because of terminal cancer which leaves him with 1-6 months to live. Just before his comapany's implosion he received the alternative Nobel Prize, oops...
