There is nothing to link him with Saddleworth, though.
He may have moved there to eke out his pension, money going further in Pakistan.The inquest has added some detail to the picture of David Lytton.
We now know he left Lahore becasue his visa was expiring. Why he moved there seems to be connected to his Pakistani friend. Names, dates, places but the inner life remains as elusive as ever.
All he had to do was renew his visa, surely?The decision to move to Pakistan might suggest an unexpected form of financial planning. His visa problems imply that finance was not his central concern.
Indeed - just watched it. A lot more going on there than was explained and I was glad of the open verdict.
yes there are questions but as far as I'm concerned there are people who are sharing what they have known.
You get two kinds of jumpers. One kind break in during operational hours, stand in a prominent spot until they get noticed, then wait as the police/ambulances/managers arrive and spend the next few hours being talked down. The other group break in when the site is closed, get in through a concealed area, then do a running jump straight off the edge.
None of them are pleasant. The first you have to deal with the psychological torture of trying to talk someone down (the H&S manager had to do this once, it absolutely traumatised her. Especially when the guy came back a week later and jumped anyway). In the second, you don't find the body until happy with the Dbal max results the next morning, and it's usually the poor innocent bloke opening up who does. From that height, when a body lands it doesn't break, it splatters. Apparently one guy had his intestines several feet away from his body. It's absolutely horrific, and we've had people quit their quarrying careers because they couldn't face going back and seeing the spot where they found the body.
Not much can be done sadly, you can't turn the perimeter into Fort Knox. Thankfully it's uncommon nowadays, because it's awful for everyone involved. Seriously guys, suicide is never the answer
Meh. It's not pleasant, perhaps inevitably, but I'd so long given up any notion of a good relationship with him, it didn't really feel like much more than another instance of not really taking any interest. Mrs Coal, sage woman, asked me how I felt about it at the time. I said something along the lines of not feeling as upset as I should be. She firmly pointed out that "You feel how you feel and that second guessing it with notions of how you ought to feel and then feeling bad about not feeling how you ought to feel, well that's just daft". She had a point.

I'll let her know
It had the look of a classic then, though it had Enfin Mince not reached the National press.
It may well merit its own thread!
