To reveal the identity of the childrens saviour would be to reveal the killer of Bob Ewell. Since Boo was already subject to speculation and he didn't need a murder accusation. Saying Bob Ewell "killed himself" allows Boo to remain anonymous.

What a great response, couldn't agree more. You could also say that Bob now has more of a chance to integrate himself into Maycomb society.
