Even if the fall was the result of excess alcohol - so that he was partially to blame - it may be that he had concussion or other head trauma that affected his behaviour. Before people rush to accuse him of bad behaviour, we'd better be sure we know the medical circumstancs. A sad story, but we should be careful about jumping the gun.
