"JW" would refer to Justice Lawrence Wargrave.
"The conclusion of the judge's letter indicates that he planned to shoot himself while sitting on his bed, so that his body would fall onto the bed as if it had been laid there. He fastened the gun to the doorknob with a piece of elastic cord in such a way that the recoil would snap the gun out into the hallway as the door to his room closed. Thus the police found ten dead bodies and an unsolvable mystery on Soldier Island"

Yes, I know who he is, I read the book. But what happened to him?

When Wargrave was told by his Harley Street physician that he was terminally ill, Wargrave decided to go out in a blaze of drama which would satiate his inner urges, rather than just letting his life slowly trickle away.
In the end, he kills himself as described in neelie_447's post.
