Am wondering too; if perhaps, when briefcase was stolen - assuming it was - if he was not hit on the head by perp; which may have caused some bleeding etc; and so 'from there'.. .he went downhill. Although; none of this yet explains; how he ended up in dumpster. Was he 'placed inside', or was he confused and still 'just looking' for his briefcase. . .
Again; too bad this was not appropriately dealt with by the 'Security' when he clearly demonstrated he needed 'real' assistance.
Good questions and concerns.
Fox has just reported that he had a problem with his neighbors whose house size was detrimental to his ‘view’. There was speculation that Wheeler had planted an incendiary device.
Perhaps some, or all, of this is true and he was both stressed out and remorseful of his own appalling actions. If he suffered from any form of dementia or early onset Alzheimers - I believe your assessment of his searching for his briefcase in the dumpster seems rational; or that he was urinating or decided to sit in the dumpster to get warm. Then he fell asleep and the dumpster was lifted up causing a fatal injury. Sometimes thing aren’t what they seem. Including murder.’
