<<Someone asked about violent deaths of hard boiled writers. Pulp writer Fred MacIsaac killed himself in 1940 after having not sold stories for six months.>>

The great Norbert Davis killed himself, for reasons that are not very clear; I think Charles Williams did too, by jumping off his boat. But these are not necessarily acts of violence.
