Who was it that appeared to Michael right before the explosion...was it Jack's dad? Anyway, whoever it was said, you can go now. I wonder if that wasn't how they were "allowing" him to die.
Good point, 007.

There were a couple of scenes where Michael unsuccessfully tried to kill himself once he got back to the USA from the island. He tried to ram his car into a pile of stocked crates on a dock but survived. He also tried to kill himself with a revolver but it kept misfiring.

You may be right in that Michael finally found "peace" in death.
