Title: Accident , Natural Causes or something more sinister?

Manchester Chief Constable went walking in Snowdonia yesterday. He was, we are told, off duty. He didn't come back and they searched all night and most of today until they found a body this late afternoon.
Maybe I am a cynic but several questions spring to mind.
Manc Police as anyone who reads Private Eye and other such will be aware are not exactly whiter than white.
What was/ is about to hit the fan I wonder?
I mean do we really believe that anyone capable of being a Chief Constable would be stupid  enough to go hill walking in Snowdonia given yesterday's weather forecast?
I shall be watching Manchester News with great interest over the coming days but I bet the buggers try to cover it up with stories of a suspected heart attack etc.

Wonder if they will find a 'suicide note' later on. "I was proceeding in a northerly direction when I decided to jump off snowdonia".

The whole thing stinks.

Quote from: BBC Web Shite
The head of one of the biggest police forces in Britain has been found dead.

Michael Todd, the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, disappeared while out walking on Snowdon, north Wales, on Monday night.

Rescue teams found the 50-year-old's body on part of the mountain called Bwlch Glas on Tuesday afternoon.

The cause of his death is not yet known but suicide is understood to be one line of inquiry. Letters addressed to his family were also found.

Police Chief Michael Todd was found at the foot of a cliff on Snowdonia. Conclusive proof that pigs can't fly?

That's no way to talk about "a caring and loving father and husband."

So described by his widow despite him having an affair and only coming home at weekends.

By the time the cover up is complete the coroner will record "An open verdict" is where my money sits.

Update on the big cover up

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7294994.stm

So he didn't have a large amount of alcohol in his body ..... just an empty bottle by his side. He didn't fall or jump and wasn't pushed. He just went for a stroll on Snowdon, on the day that the worst storm of the year was forecast, wearing only "light clothing". To me that suggests he drove or was driven there. If not how did he get there and if alone how did he plan to get back whilst "over the limit"?

 rubschin: The more they "tell us" the less we know and the more questions do not seem to be being asked by the media.

I'm sure I heard on the tV news that "His driver was waiting for him and raised the alarm when he didn't return".  rubschin:
