Cricket seems to have its share of these: Hansie Cronje (even at the time, I wasn't old enough to think that way but I remember thinking "wow that's pretty good timing for anyone else who was involved in corruption in cricket"), Bob Woolmer, Peter Roebuck... not really suspicious I suppose in the latter case, but with some pretty disturbing allegations against him, you might argue that he checked out at the right time. For Roebuck, the mystery is more what was he really getting up to and it felt like he was treated very favourably following his death considering the circumstances (he seemingly leapt from a window to avoid apprehension).
Rik Mayall is another off the top of my head. At his age, when a celebrity drops dead suddenly, I think we automatically default to "overdose or suicide?", sorry to say. From what I've read, it didn't appear to be either, no health issues, he was jogging and in pretty good nick for someone in his mid-50s, he just died all of a sudden.
