    If he died in the jump they would have eventually found a body. At the very least he survived long enough to vacate the area.

      Some of those areas are really remote. He could have easily died, and his body was then torn apart and scattered by scavengers before anyone could find it.

      People frequently get lost in remote areas, die, and never have their bodies found. All that has to happen is that the animals get to the body before search parties do.

      Or he could have simply landed in a stream or river, and his body was devoured by fish as it tumbled its way into the sea.

      There are plenty of ways for nature to destroy a corpse.
