The only question I can answer right now is the last one: it’s the norm in Switzerland for a magistrate/judge to investigate any death that is not from natural causes. The judge, rather than the police, is put in charge of cases, and they are often closed officially only once all the bits and pieces of information are in.

there seem to be some inconsistancies.
- now police say that the sniffer dog(s) did locate the scent leading to the area close to the cliff from where he fell.
-a psser-by found the missing shoe (and sock) in that area. why didn’t the sniffer dog find the shoe? isn’t that what the dog is supposed to find? ( was the shoe there when the dog discovered the scent? or ????)
-if the dog followed the scent to that dangerous spot, why didn’t the police look below the cliff to check for a body?
-and what of the woman that he accompanied home? it seems they talked for 20-30 minutes ( outside in the freezing cold )we have no information about what they talked about ( maybe the police are not revealing all that they know)
-a verdict of “accidental death” has not been declared as yet.
i’m still curious why there is a judge investigating……perhaps it is because things are not all that they appear.

They haven’t given an exact time of death. But Wednesday evening (30 Dec.) they said the evidence now points to an accident, and he had a “high level of alcohol” in his blood when he died.

She did say he’d been drinking, but she didn’t think he was too drunk to make it home safely.

Why didnt the female friend report that he had been drinking? I mean she would have known, she was the last known person to see him alive. That is unless he dropped her off and went drinking without her.

What was the time of death of Mr. Myles Rrobinson? If the army’s search couldn’t locate the body within the hours of his disappearance, maybe it is because he wasn’t yet at the place he was found. To go wandering off to this dangerous area at 02:30 is rather strange, i feel. I do hope the judge investigates all plausible scenarios.
