Death Certificate

I have received a certified copy of the certificate of death for Albert Staeheli from the Washington State Board of Health Bureau of Vital Statistics.  The certificate validates the belief among family members that Albert took his own life on June 8, 1912 in Addy, Washington.  The certificate is signed by Robert Staeheli, Harry M. West the coroner from Colville, W. Prindle the undertaker from Colville and H.B. Cook, the registrar.
Albert was buried June 9, 1912.  I am attempting to place events in order during that time.  The records show that Albert received a homestead of 162 acres near Addy on October 22, 1908.  I understand a home was built there and the 1910 census record lists Albert, Marie, Paul, Rosa and Lewis as residents.  It is known that the home burned apparently with total loss of the house and possessions.  Presumably that was between 1910 and 1912.  Albert's death certificate places his death in Addy "100 yards in lane from house". 
That suggests the family was living in Addy in June of 1912. 
It has been expressed by other Staeheli's that Albert may have succumbed to depression over the loss of the family home on the homestead.  That may have resulted in his suicide.  Based on the little evidence I have collected I believe that is credible.  It has also been stated that Albert returned to Switzerland for a while, perhaps after the family home burned. 
I do not understand part of the description related as "the Cause of Death was as follows: shot himself by 38-72 W.C.F".
