The direction of travel was Bow Road station to Mornington Grove

Looking at the terrain there are a few open spaces, the already discussed cemetery and some parkland as far as I can tell off Hamlets Way if Antonino went in this direction.

This whole area off Tidworth Road looks derelict if he had diarrhoea and wanted somewhere a bit secluded. I think it may be the same place another sleuth found exploring the map.

I can't speak for anyone else, but in my experience diarrhoea doesn't give you time to get far, or to pick and choose where to unload :oops:.
There's been nothing to suggest he had diarrhoea, and the CCTV images of him on his way out of the station don't suggest it either.
 
There appears to be pattern of missing males between Lonsdale Road Barnes and Putney over the last few Months. Eight young men have been found in this part of the river which reminds me of the questionable "Manchester pusher" case. This soon escalated into speculation of a Putney pusher.

Was there not a missing persons poster for Antonino mentioning Putney recently if I recall.

This is the most recent incident near Putney.

I wonder if this could have any connection.

" A 41-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Ranjith Kankanamalage.
The man was arrested on Wednesday, 27 October, and has been taken into custody.

Ranjith, known as 'Roy', was found dead in Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park.
Police were called by the London Ambulance Service (LAS) at approximately 07:00hrs on Monday, 16 August, following reports that a man had been found unresponsive.

Officers and LAS paramedics attended the scene and found 50-year-old Ranjith with a head injury. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Enquiries remain ongoing. "

What do you think the connection might be?

I believe many are suicides. But, I too, thought that Putney area seems to have a high preponderance of bodies taken from the water.

Paul Conte's case, back in August, was one such, and which affected me a lot.

Is that the nearest cemetery to Bow Station and the place mentioned before.
I agree that he may have gone somewhere quiet to be sick and met a bad person.

I, and another sleuth here, have previously discussed the cemetery as a potential site early on in the thread.

I think we have no evidence he was looking for anywhere else to vomit, given he had emitted something from his mouth out front of Bow Road station. Not having seen the CCTV if this act, none of us know if it was a full blown stomach expulsion, or a mere hawking up of bile and gas.

Police may have intel they have not divulged, but as it stands this case appears that of a voluntary disappearance, for unknown reasons.

A body is pulled every day from the Thames in London, on average.

With the first of the large bends in the river from Chelsea to Hammersmith, upstream of central London, bodies move into the faster flow on the outside of the bend or the get caught in the low flow on the inside of the bend. This closer proximity to the bank makes them more likely to be spotted.

AC was missing from the Richmond/Barnes/Putney area (i.e. he was last living in this area). However, he was last seen in East London, many miles from Putney.

P.S. The Putney Pusher case did not relate to someone pushing people into the river.
