Without the raccoons' interference, we'd likely be able to easily eliminate whether it was murder or suicide.
As it is, the body is dismembered, the room is a bloody mess, none of the clues seem to match the peaceful expression on Sigma-kun's face, and we're left caught debating whether it was in fact murder or not.
But if we get the killer wrong, the person we choose will be executed, isn't that right? In that case, the raccoons could have done this because Sigma-kun made it too easy. Or there was a killer who made it too easy. Or they simply wanted to up the chances for another death because we as a group are too hesitant and cautious to give in easily to their bloodsport.
... either way, it certainly does discourage one from considering making it easy on others by choosing suicide--it would satisfy the One Death Per Killing Night and the living could just say the killer was the victim themselves. How troublesome.
