The waterproof jacket belonging to police chief Michael Todd is still missing, a week after his death on Snowdon.
Police and rescuers believe the Greater Manchester chief constable must have been wearing one when he took his final journey. Mr Todd was a seasoned hillwalker and would almost certainly have gone equipped with one. They are now checking wind direction and weather conditions to try to work out where the coat may be.
A spokesman for Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team said: “He may have taken it off and it could have been carried away by a gust.”
The jacket may provide clues in the investigation into Mr Todd’s death. When he was found, he was wearing a microfleece and a top, waterproof trousers, but no waterproof jacket.
- Mr Todd's funeral will take place on Good Friday, in Nottingham. The service will be a private, family ceremony. A memorial service is planned for April at Manchester Cathedral.
There's no way this was suicide. Lets not forget he was looking into CIA flights transiting illegally through the UK. Nobody commits suicide like this. He's have shot himself, he's a cop.
