What do we believe happened?

BASE 429.
Alex had 30 BASE jumps and is a very experienced skydiver.
This jump took place from a launch point well known to him, at night, with no wind and under a full moon.

Witness reports state he did a short delay considering the altitude available and then lost sight of him. Alex is found dead hours later by a rescue team.
The rig is reported to be packed slider up (single canopy container, but an old skydiving canopy more or less adapted for BASE).
The report went on to say the canopy seems to have been perfectly deployed.
