I think such unfounded speculations serve no useful purpose.

Police and media would certainly have arrived on the scene well after the fall occurred and I could easily imagine the second climber taking off the fallen climber's harness (as well as his own) to render him assistance. Maybe they indeed were not wearing harnesses while climbing, but if you were going to make that decision why would you even take them out of the truck? It's not like you could quickly put one on if someone else showed up while you were on the tower.

Guess that's what happens when you leave them on the ground.  73

Is this what happens when free climbing?

I am strapped on with a loop and a fall arrestor while climbing up, working
and when climbing down
