Ultimately revealed to have indeed been suicide, because he'd become crushed under the weight of all his lies and alternate lives. Conrado's wife committed suicide after being raped.

El embarcadero / int_85c4ebe0	comment	Bisexual Love Triangle: Alex becomes interested in both Verónica (her late husband's secret lover) and Conrado (the police lieutenant investigating her husband's death), and spends the greater part of season two torn between them. Conrado is a more traditional choice, as a very masculine man who "feels like home" and has more traditional, monogamous views on romance, while Verónica represents Alex's departure from her former, rather conventional life, as a woman and a free spirit with a more bohemian lifestyle. When forced to choose, she ultimately chooses Verónica, though she would have been open to a polyamourous relationship if Conrado hadn't been too traditional to agree.
