Bible Question (short): How Judas Iscariot died?

Question (full): Personally, I do not care very much about how Judas Iscariot died etc., however someone asked me a question about this and I could not answer. In Matthew 27:5, the Bible says that, "And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed and he went away and hanged himself." (So here, it looks like he committed suicide). Also in Matt.27:6,7 "The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, 'It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.' And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field ..." (So, it was the chief priests who decided to buy the field.) Then in Acts 1:18 it is written, "Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out." (Here it sounds like Judas bought the field - in fact in the NIV version it says exactly that and his death seems to be a result of his fall rather than he hanging himself.) Would somebody care to elaborate on this?
