Murder did occur to me, I watch a lot of detective shows.

But it's just possible his body was concealed by brush and the back of his hair was seen against the branches.

Of course it would have to be a nearsighted trigger-happy idiot too "alpha male" to wear glasses, (or has a dad who's not gonna let his son appear weak) but I'm pretty sure the situation self-selected for that.
