Murder or Suicide?

I recently obtained a death certificate for one of my relatives.
Cause of death is given as: "Found dead on the high road such death being due to haemorhage caused by his having cut his throat with a razor"
When I first read it I thought he was the victim of a murder.
But reading through it again - was it a sucide?
Can I have any one else's thoughts on this one.
