It's not a great choice, but then it was 'thelondonpaper' and it does absolve blame until blame has been established through a proper investigation. If somebody falls it suggests it's an accident, which at this point it is. A tragic one nonetheless.
Anyway, I'm not meaning to derail the thread just pointing out why certain words are used by the press in these circumstances.
