British man crushed to death lifting weights after drinking session

A British man was crushed to death while attempting to lift weights in his garage.

Chris Bailey, 28, decided to go for a workout Saturday after going out drinking with his landlord until 3:00am local time in Brighton, southeastern England, the Brighton Argus reported.

Landlord Oliver Steel, 57, found his body in the garage later that day after he woke up to find the front door open.

He told the newspaper, "I found him on the bench with the bar across his chest. I tried to wake him, but I knew he was dead. I had to try and lift the weight off him, which wasn't easy because it was so heavy. I tried to resuscitate him, but he was gone."

Paramedics were initially called to the home just after noon local time Saturday. His death is being treated as unexplained. An autopsy was underway Monday.

One part of the story I don't understand... "His death is being treated as unexplained"

They will try to determine if he died and dropped the weights or if he dropped the weights and that killed him. Like it makes a difference.

There is nothing wrong with investigating the death. It may seem apparent but still some things need to be checked out. If you were the family would you want everyone to jump to conclusions or would you want to see the evidence?

It does, actually.

The question is:

Does it really need to be investigated? Yes it does. Should we find the guy responsible for his own death or should it be looked into before he is found responsible?

It makes a big difference in a society that claims that their courts are bound by innocent until proven guilty.
