How Paul is you he(it) really dead?

[lolotte]

I do not understand any more at the beginning you said that Paul died in a car accident, later you have to speak about kidnapping, and now he(it) would have committed suicide??
What would be the most likely version on its death?

Thank you

He did not commit suicide.
Many people think he died in a car accident because of the line
"He blew his mind out in a car" from "A Day In the Life", and because of the song "Death Cab for Cutie".
I personally think he drowned, or nearly drowned, in a situation like what's described in the Elton John song "Where To Now, St. Peter?"

Nobody really knows for sure what happened to Paul.
But the "A Pocketful of Stones" song on the David Gilmore album
"On An Island" may hold a clue:

"He's sending stones skimming and flying
Circles spinning out his time
Though the earth is dying his head is in the stars
Chances are this spark's a lifetime

Out of touch he'll live in wonder
Won't lose sleep he'll just pretend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end

Rivers run dry but there's no line on his brow
Says he doesn't care who's saved
It's just the dice you roll, the here and now
And he's not guilty or afraid

One day he'll slip away
Cool water flowing all around
In the river and on the ground
Leave a pocketful of stones and not believe in other lives

Until then he'll live in wonder
He won't fight or comprehend
In his world he won't go under
Turns without him until the end"
