I realize you said you weren't going into motive, but why in your theory would Battler be spared when no one else is? Especially if he has a "sin" that's so important to the "Beatrice" who confronts him? If someone was willing to kill Maria (assuming anyone killed her), you'd think they'd be fine killing Battler too. A suicide theory has to account for why Battler wasn't killed. A different theory (mortal wounding, accident, etc.) would allow for someone wanting to kill him, but failing to do so.
Given all the circumstances, it's quite odd that Battler would survive through no affirmative act on his part. He was even trying to get the killer's attention once he got into the mansion, yet they never showed up.
