Interesting that several people apparently saw him alone at 0830, which makes you wonder why they didn't do anything. Then again, these days they might have ended up being accused of snatching him!
Spot on Foz; a few weeks after I was released from prison, I was just leaving Harrods and a large, swarthy man started hitting his little girl, very hard. I and a dozen others stood, looked and did nothing. My probation officer, next day, when I told her said "thank God you didn't interfere - you'd be back in prison". We killed off the Good Samaritan years ago.

Even trying to help somebody up could led to prosecution or even pulling someone from a burning car. MWT is filth and bet he has got out, with markings and thumb tacks trying to find a possible pattern.

Agrred; let's not make any assumptions. But it does look as though police have behaved very efficiently and correctly so far. A sad result for the search; a tragedy for whatever reason.
I am familiar with the area this poor soul came from. Its not exactly "benefit street" but you regularly see kids as young as Mikkaeel playing outside, a demographic thing I guess. But what struck me was the empathy from our Police. Not being a massive fan of plod I was pleasantly surprised in their approach and when the officer announced that they found his body you could see he was struggling breaking the news. Humanity, not something you see very often from our boys in blue.

I saw that clip, angel ... a slight lowering of the head, and a momentary pause.
Not entirely convinced myself - looked like amateur acting to me.
After the "press" which the police have had recently I'm not surprised that they were doing a "good PR job".
