I dont understand why could they not find him????
What an idiot in the first place I mean what safety measures were put in place?

"what safety measures were put in place?"

erm thatd be God i suppose :)

[Postdog]

well he was fairly close to God being up there......

Okay, he didn't deserve what happened to him, and it's tragic that he died and all, but can I just be the first to say...

What a freaking idiot

I must be quite sick as I'm ashamed to say I find this story quite amusing. I know it's very sad and a man is dead but I can't help it :/

His last words were bound to be something like, "Don't worry peeps, god will keep me safe!" Ahhhh to have faith, it's a wonderful thing.

Nice one, Gromit. I saw this (latter) story on Tuesday and I was wondering then who it was that posted a question asking if there was any further news.

Didn't get the chance to search (work too busy - don't ask about this week!) - but it was Jillius I had in mind who had asked the question when all had gone quiet (3rd link).

Still, what goes up......

(Really, what was he thinking????)
