Several wounds but its a suicide? One can only hope a competent coroner will check into that one.

Must be a Tanto sword. No full length katana will allow for multiple stab wounds.

I imagine the man stabbed his stomach several times in quick succession.

Autopsy will be performed to determine which stab caused his death. Like tim can stated, one can not stab himself after he was dead.
