"In this case it appears to be a suicide," Esparza added. "However, the medical examiner's office will make the final decision" after conducting testing."
For those wondering. Doing a simple Twitter search of @zhitomirskiyi, brings this recent tweet directly mentioning him:
https://twitter.com/#!/micahdaigle/status/135613279618871296
"@zhitomirskiyi, founder of @joindiaspora, has committed suicide.:("
about around 24 hours ago, long before it was announced on Techcrunch.
Then someone else mentioned suicide as well, but they delete their tweet, not before it was retweeted however:

"@amoration Found out colleague killed himself. Sending serenity in the passing of @zhitomirskiyi"
Sad to hear it.
