London, December 30: A Smart phone found near the body of British skier Myles Robinson is being checked for clues to his death.
Friends discovered Robinson, 23, on Monday, after his family organised a private search party.
He had plunged into an icy ravine from a cliff side path in the Switzerland ski resort of Wengen.
His BlackBerry was retrieved hours later on the “incredibly hazardous” track.
Police are now attempting to power up the device to see what calls, texts and emails Robinson made or took before the tragedy.
One theory was that he stumbled off the cliff while texting.
The Newcastle University graduate, of south-west London, vanished in the early hours of December 22 after walking a family friend back to her hotel.
He was staying with his family at the Hotel Eiger, a short walk away.
Tests indicated he died from injuries sustained in the fall.
