A Tragedy....

they may want to question the other guy a bit further. 2 guys walk into a Forrest and one walks out, the other ones dead. Automatic suspect.

Hmmm... sounds more than a little suspicious.

I saw this one on a Fuji TV drama, it was the guy who went with him but they cornered him on a beach, tackled the knife from his hands and then he confessed.

No mention of early morning Saka break, so if alcohol was not involved then were these people maybe smoking the mushrooms?
How could he have fallen over the cliff? It was daylight out but was there any fog? Not enough details in this story for me to put my Sherlock Holmes Hat on.
Or could have been attackec by Big Panda (Asian version of Big Foot).

Sagami? Is in in Sagamihara city, a very nice part of Kanagawa prefecture in which I lived for a few years and never heard of such an incident. We have more incidents with drunk U.S. military guys and their drunk kids than from anybody falling off a cliff (they found this dead old dude at the bottom of a cliff so I just have a wild hunch that he fell of the cliff.)
