RIP
no speculation please on what happened.
I will add this is very near a hut, he had a beacon that wasnt used, the weather was reasonable, he was very experienced, its not a particularly dangerous area for falls.. at this time keep your conclusions to yourself out of respect for the deceased's love ones.
