Do any of us know WHY he went for a walk without a map though?
Does anyone know if he had been visiting the place for years, and knew it like the back of his hand?
Does anyone know WHY he hadn't taken his phone?
Perhaps being on holiday, he wanted a bit of respite from people disturbing him - who knows?
I just hope his heart-broken family don't ever read how total strangers, who know nothing, and never even knew this much-loved man, are so willing to condemn him.
Answering your post questions Mups
No ,we don't know whey he went walking without a map save to say given he was out with his wife and hosts hadn't any reason to have one that day .
Yes ,we do know he had visited the place before 8 years ago was mentioned .
No ,we don't know why he didn't have his phone with him .
Lots and lots of people worldwide followed his findings on health matters ,how to extend your life by proper diet and exercise etc. and tv appearances,some of the odd things of the latter I recall .
Tim Spector colleague and friend spoke the the other day as being impulsive , a risk taker , not very aware of danger , an experimenter , so maybe people who you think are condemning him are seeing those as contributing factors leading to his death ?
. I think if his friend saw these things in his personality his family almost certainly did .TS added MM's wife would stop him from doing the most outrageous things .
So he might well have said he wanted to walk back to the home of his hosts while they chose to wait for transport but impulsively got the idea to explore a bit .
Maybe to experiment and push his 67 year old body into doing something that day which he could write about ?
