Just had a look at the Facebook group.
No explanation yet but its most likely he got hit by a car. My experience of the Eyre highway was that 99% of drivers were fine but a handful were not. I had three very, and unecessarily, close passes in an hour one morning in the area he was.
A kangaroo or wombat can have you off, but I didn't see many of them near the roads round there, they're more an issue in the East, especially where there are hedgerows. And riders can just lose control, whether drowsy or not.
Need to see what happened but a car / hit and run is by far the most likely cause. Bad enough to hit and run anywhere but it takes a real cunt to do it in a desert.
