Tourist fell into ravine 'after jumping wall with steep drop'

Cops with sniffer dogs were dispatched to the rocky scrub-land after a homeowner responded to an appeal by police and Greg's family to search cameras for images of him.

CCTV footage showed the 38-year-old jumping over a wall, allowing police to narrow down his last movements and make the grim find in the Algarve ravine.

The police insider said today: 'The investigation into exactly how he died is ongoing.

'But all the evidence so far is pointing to the tourist losing all notion of where he was in a place he hadn't been to before, and under the effects of alcohol jumping over a first wall into a private property and then a second wall in the back garden not realising there was a steep drop the other side.'

Another police insider added: 'The GNR police force had requested help from the Polícia Judiciaria force which confirmed yesterday the missing man's body had been found.

'They then got given CCTV from one of the villas in the Cerro da Aguia areas which enabled them to trace him jumping over a wall of a neighbouring property.

Im glad they have CCTV footage as it will stop the family wondering if something more nefarious happened.

RIP Greg

The BBC article says something a bit different about where he was found.

The Polícia Judiciária said the body, which is yet to be formally identified, was found on a "vacant and very uneven lot".

I think they meant to say, he hopped over a short cement wall, fell into a ravine, and landed on a flatter piece of land. jmo

Greg’s sister said:
“It brings us some comfort knowing that Greg had all his belongings on him. He wasn’t robbed, he still had his phone and his wallet.
“He had all his cards and cash.”

His family believe Greg just got lost.
