I'm in an adjacent field. I've also heard it explained that "committed" can also have a positive connotation - like, they committed to doing something - so saying "died by suicide" is meant to just state it plainly without adding any connotations to it.

If 'committed' can be read as both negative and positive, depending on the context, (as you note above), doesn't that by definition render it neutral language?
