No- some unconfirmed rumours say that he shot himself out of guilt and shame as the ship was taking her last plunge, but this is unlikely.
He didn't survive the sinking, but he definitely wasn't assassinated, and the prospect of suicide is very remote.
During the actual disaser, there were no emergency flares (as claimed by the Titanic film), so instead the celebration fireworks were used. A ship did happen to see the flares but sadly thought nothing more of them than being used for a party on the ship.
the California was near it but thought the flairs were fireworks and that the titanic passengers were having a party.
The ship closest to the Titanic saw the fireworks, but it didn't know Titanic was sinking. Instead, it thought the ship was having a party due to the fireworks. So there.
At approximately 12:55 A.M. the first white distress flare was fired into the air and burst with a loud bang. Eight rockets were fired altogether
The titanic changed history because it showed what happened when all ships turned off their radio and the titanic couldn't get help it tried firing fireworks and the Californian saw them bought thought it was just celebration fireworks. The ship sank because it hit an iceberg and the titanic didn't have enough life boats. The titanic changed history when it sank because it was also called "the unsinkable ship".

Because the computer is normally situated well away from where the actual fireworks are to be fired from.
Yes, a fired gun can sometimes have a similar smell to fireworks. Both involve the combustion of chemicals that produce distinctive odors. However, the smell of a fired gun may also have additional components depending on the type of ammunition used.
It sunk because it had struck an iceberg.
In terms of fireworks, a shot is how many individual effects are fired from 1 device. i.e a 100 shot cake will fire 100 separate effects into the air.
Yes. Fourth Officer Joseph G. Boxhall and Quartermaster Alfred Rowe were ordered by Smith to fire distress rockets. These were rockets which burst in a white cluster high enough above the ship to be seen from at least 10-15 miles away or more under favorable conditions. Between 12:45 AM and about 1:45 AM on April 15, 1912, 8 rockets were fired from the sinking Titanic. The only ship that was definitely close enough to see them was the Leyland steamer Californian, whose master, Stanley Lord, inexplicably failed to wake his wireless operator to see if a vessel was in distress. Californian's officers on watch saw all 8 being fired and were only ordered by Lord to try to contact the ship via Morse lamp.
In "Number the Stars," the fireworks that Kristi thought she heard on her birthday were actually gunshots fired by the German soldiers during their occupation of Denmark. The noise made Kristi confused because she couldn't distinguish between the sounds of gunshots and fireworks.
The smell that the cordite propellant (gunpowder)gives off when the guns are fired. If you never had the pleasure of firing a howitzer, it is sort of a combination of ammonia and the smell of freshly fired fireworks.
