Sherlock's Fall - A theory which may or may not be useful

by Silent as the Writer

This is, in a nutshell, what I think happened. It's very simple, and I think whatever theory is correct in the end, is going to be simple and suprisingly obvious when it is revealed. This may be very far from what happens, I just thought it would be worth sharing this idea.

Hello, these are some theories I thought up a while ago that do not necessarily explain how Sherlock faked his death; it's just something else I noticed. Please do not rubbish me if I am wrong, it was just a suggestion. I've also heard that the simplest solutions are always the best ones, nothing too complicated. I've heard people mention YouTube videos with lots of diagrams. I may or may not be a good judge of character, but Stephen Moffat seems to like not only theatricality, but something poetic.

Wrong Way John!

John stands in a very specific place and watches Sherlock fall. Except, where he is, he cannot see exactly where Sherlock landed. Sherlock falls; John tries to round the corner and catches a glimpse of Sherlock, who is NOT COVERED IN BLOOD! He sees a motionless but an alive Sherlock. Just as John tries to hurry over to Sherlock, the cyclist knocks him over, disorientating him. Now, my theory is this…

There was a bus in front of the hospital before Sherlock fell

There was a lorry of rubbish there when he did fall, which drove away.

John was disorientated when Sherlock fell and so walked in the wrong direction to where a different body, which looks like Sherlock but isn't, has been laid out on the ground by people close at hand.

The real and alive Sherlock is taken away out of sight of John.

More time has passed than originally thought, in order for this to happen.

Molly has taken care of the forensics.

The Extra Assassin

Sherlock and John were told by Mycroft that four assassins had moved into Baker's Street. By the end of the programme, two of the assassins had been killed, both shot by bullets. Moriarty tells Sherlock that if he does not jump, his three friends will be shot by three bullets. We see that two of the designated killers are the same two assassins who originally moved into Baker's Street… but there aren't just two: there are three. Who the hell is the third assassin? Has anyone noticed how the camera lingers on him at the end? Is he a part of the plot for a future episode? Is this a coincidence? Does it have something to do with Sherlock's "death?"
