Very drunk perhaps?

[fxe1200]

Was he wearing a helmet, was he drunk, was his bike hit? Then the their should be some paint of a car on it.

Perhaps he emptied to many Leo cans.. RIP..

Very drunk perhaps?

Maybe his blood was checked, but he is dead, so not breathing.

supposition it could have been a nudge nudge job or he could have had a medical problem.

Looks like a fair height drop from the road, whatever the cause. Even if it was just misadventure with no dodgy background, a broken neck, even with a helmet, would not be out of the question.

Respects to the family and friends affected.

I wonder if they'll do a blood alcohol test?. Take blood from the femoral artery at the post mortem for testing.

Why would they? Would it help anybody?
