I’ve lifted weights 30 yrs. Twice I have failed to lift the benchpress off my chest...note I did not say neck. There is no chance to crush one’s neck unless you have a Russian or Chinese or Clinton goon spotting you. When you can’t push the weight through the last repetition and you have no spotter, you roll the thing down your body to the floor or dump it to the side. This guy looked like an experienced lifter.
Murder.

I was thinking along the same lines. From a bench press, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY (but not impossible) this was an accident!
