His son had offered to help, but Hull insisted—he was alone when he fell, and despite efforts, he died. Debates swirl over who suggested the risky climb, but the outcome remains unchanged: a chaotic legend silenced in a quiet, solitary fall. The only relic left? The bracket where the aerial once hung.
