You can know how to fall off a horse, you can't know how to fall off a building. If that would have been him hitting the pavement he wouldn't have survived. End of story. He'd have broken his neck, his back, there would've been the contents of his skull all over the pavement, not just an obviously small amount of blood. My theory Molly pushed a body out a window, Sherlock landed in the conveniently placed van of hospital laundry (it was sheets, not rubbish), a member of his homeless network (so open to bribes) hit John with the bike so he wouldn't see, in time to swap over before people arrived (i.e. the conveniently placed Doctor and nurse ready to sweep Sherlock away before John could really check him out).
Backed up by...
The distance he is actually falling is much greater than the distance he actually lands. He's flailing his arms, pulling himself through the air AWAY from the building.
When he was falling his head was pointing towards the road. Why would he suddenly swivel 90 degrees in mid air to be lying parallel with the building?
He's just basically flown through mid air, wind rushing into his face. His eyes would have instinctively closed against the rush. Not to mention if I was commiting suicide, I wouldn't keep my eyes open for the moment of impact. Would you?
Finally, that doctor has to have been in on it. Even on tv, no doctor in the world, if they actually wanted to help, would approach the casualty from a fall like that and immediately move them. They would have stabilised him at the scene, on a spinal board, and THEN into the hospital. There was NO attempt at treatment. And ambulance right by them, and they did nothing. You could argue that they'd checked his pulse, so obviously knew he was already dead. But again, ambulance. He had been in cardiac arrest for mere seconds at this point. They would have done CPR until the defib from the ambulance was brought over.
So... when he said he needed Molly. Between them, they staged the whole thing. The doctor, the nurse, the van of bedding. Probably the autopsy results as well. Like Ms Adler said, DNA tests are only as good as the records you keep... and he may not know the record keeper, but he definitely knows the record MAKER!
Oh wow! That's amazing, that's the best version of this theory I've heard all night! Thank you very much for that, it makes a lot more sense than anything else I've subsequently came up with since writing this entry :)
Thank you. It's the best I can come up with. Why else would the laundry truck drive away just as people start arriving unless he was involved? You just wouldn't. Of course knowing Moffat and Gatiss this'll probably be complete rubbing and he actually parachuted down while humming along to Bananarama on his iPod!
To be honest, I didn't even notice the laundry truck drive away. I was weeping too much that he actually jumped in the first place and my broken heart is protesting too much to go near BBC iPlayer.... although the absolutely EPIC mental image of him parachuting down to Bananarama is just so funny I may never be able to watch that bit the same way again XD
But thank goodness we're definitely having series 3, I would've cracked if I thought that was it!
