I wonder if its possible for Moriarty to have faked his own death too o.o

[mabuse1976]

And where did they get another set of sherlock's clothes to put on the body? No time to switch clothes with the corpse in this scenario. To me, it seems more plausible that Sherlock does land on the truck, but then rolls on to the pavement, puts some blood on his face and pretends being dead. His pulse could be surpressed using the small rubber ball we see him having earlier in the episode, and anyway John only checks the pulse very briefly.

FUCK MORIARTY. WE SHERLOCK.

Dude, we see the body actually falling on the street and we can hear a cracking noise. I'm not saying this video is absolutely wrong, but yeah we can see when the body lands.

@thedeathskittle maybe the guy we toght was moriarty was just one of moriartys toys and made richard play him so moriarty may have done the same to richard brooks that richard brooks done to moriarty kill yourself or i kill all your friends or maybe we are suposing stupid stuff while the producer gets many ideias from our comments x)

We know these things are fact-Holmes jumped off the roof-Watson did not see where he landed-Molly was helping Holmes-Sherlock was a master of disguise. With these facts I believe that Sherlock landed in the truck and somehow disguised himself into looking and feeling dead. We must remember that Holmes really only coudl of had the help of Mycroft and Molly. He did not have an army of loyal followers because everyone thought he was an arch criminal on the loose.

Makes perfect sense, but Sherlock didn't even need another dead body on the scene, which looked like him. You can stop the pulse in your arm(s) with a rubber ball in your armpit - an old magic trick. It would only be important that the was declared dead (Molly), identified (Molly) and that some other body was buried.

That's clever, I haven't notice the truck before!

[kassikangas]

it's all too messy. Moffat's style is more elegant.

[dopilus]

All Sherlock would have had to do was make his own formula during the night (while they were already in the LAB) and drug him before he woke up. Then the biker was used to kick start his "flight or fight" response triggering the hallucinogenic affects of the drug.

Personally the latter response would tie everything off nice & neat but we won't know for sure until next season!

SO, obviously if it was NOT him, the body would already be dead and without pulse. Now this leads to the question, WHY it LOOKS like Sherlock once he is rolled over? This can easily be explained: Notice when Watson was knocked out by the biker, upon waking you'll notice a very high pitched ringing not similar but IDENTICAL to the high pitched ringing associated with the Baskerville Fear Gas.
