There is no legitimate reason for anyone to be out at that time...

Statically it is a safe country. Lately there is a spur of crime on the rise though.

Wonder if they will check the ATM records and find a some of money taken out prior to his body being found. Otherwise i guess it would be booze related or both.

"Lately there is a spur of crime on the rise though." Source?

The source is right here in this "Crime" tab. We all drop our two cents worth of comments on a daily basis. Usually, on the same reoccurring crimes. (murder-suicides, stabbings, yakuza raids, sagi scams, pervs, bullying, business scandals etc. .)
Why would one need a specific "source"??

Did he have his wallet on him? That would have been relevant piece of information to release, would it not?

Yes. A key piece of info indeed.
Obviously they could've determined that (wallet discovered on his person or not) when he was brought into the hospital's ER. . . . the poor guy's vehicle was still running engine w/ headlights on.
