(suicide was the ruling based on arm bone disintegration)

What's the connection?

Just a guess, but I suppose it has something to do with the arm being
locked forward (as the pilot shoved the yoke forward) at the time of
impact? (Thus causing the disintegration of the bone...)

A non-suicide would be pulling back all the way, most likely.
