Assassination or Assisted Suicide?

So, it seems things have gone a bit weird,
Luigi Mangione, suspect in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO, reported missing by family after back surgery

The suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s slaying was reported missing by his family last month after he lost touch with them following a recent back surgery, according to sources and reports.
 
Luigi Mangione, 26, was captured in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday after he was spotted eating at a McDonald’s by an employee of the fast food restaurant who believed he resembled the gunman wanted over last week’s brazen shooting outside a Manhattan hotel.
 
Mangione — an Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family — was found carrying a ghost gun, masks and rambling writings linking him to the ambush, authorities said.

There's something off, MKUltra off, about this guy. I might be wrong, but damn it sure seems off.

The suspect, who was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and a last known address in Honolulu, according to cops.
 
Meanwhile, one of his former classmates at the Gilman School in Baltimore told the New York Times that Mangione’s peers were forwarded a message earlier this year because the suspect’s family was trying to find him.
 
The classmate, Aaron Cranston, said the message indicated Mangione hadn’t been in touch with relatives since undergoing back surgery several months prior, the outlet reported.

They are saying that that his motivation might have been from a surgery he received on his lower back. An X-Ray has been provided: 

I'm not an expert but does this even look right? I mean those screws would have destroyed his spine by the way they appear. Why go after the Insurer, when this damage would have been the fault of the medical team? 

That thing that made me feel like this was a Soylent Green type of killing is still there, but something's being covered up and that something is what smells. I guess that answers this thread, looks like an assassination has taken place. Now the question is why and who?
