What do we believe happened?

Jumper had gone alone and with only a few weeks from finishing a FJC calls were made to Emanuele's phone between 8:30pm and 11:00pm but no answer. Friends decided to go look for him at the antenna and found him deceased at the bottom within 8 metres of antenna with some canopy slightly out of container. More information is needed once Police hold their investigation.
