Recoil will throw the fore end back and eject the casing if one backs up the gun - but it must move some to the rear first - and does not restrict the fore end. If the gun was fired and dropped and the butt hit the floor, it would also likely eject the casing. So yes, it could be suicide.
What could have happened... did.
