Methodology

STEP1: FORMULATE an open QUESTION
(Usually, but not restricted to, 'who/what/where/when/why/how/how much' type questions. The question is not one which can be answered with a 'yes/no' reply. Also avoid leading questions that contain a possible explanation within the question)

STEP2: GATHER all the SOURCES available
(objects, statements, photos, etc) & include references with comments on authenticity

STEP 3: EXTRACT all the FACTS from each source (1 source may yield multiple facts) by carefully analysing their details
(Sometimes what can NOT be found in the source is just as important as what is found)

STEP 4: INFER every possibile EXPLANATION from all the available facts
(this is where a wide knowledge-base and experience are required, coupled with the skill of linking them to the facts)

STEP 5: ELIMINATE the impossible EXPLANATIONS from the pool of possibilities
(by critically questioning & then disproving as many explanations as possible using sound, logical arguments supported with authentic evidence)

RESULT: What you are left with, regardless of how absurd it may seem, is most probably the TRUTH

Abu Dhabi: A 54-year-old British woman died on Sunday morning after the car she was driving fell from the sixth floor of a multi-storey parking structure in the capital’s Khalifa Energy Complex.
The victim had reportedly accelerated by mistake instead of hitting the brakes, causing her to fly over the metal fence on the parking ledge and consequently fall to the ground in her BMW X-5.
Upon arriving at the scene, Gulf News found what appeared to be a shard of glass from a broken tail-light. The broken fence was also visible from the ground.
The area where the vehicle fell was cordoned off by the security in the afternoon. Passers-by who had heard about the incident were also trying to get a look at the exact spot. Meanwhile, residents shared pictures released by the Security Media of the mangled car on social networks.
The Energy Complex on Khalifa Street in the capital houses about eight oil and gas companies.

“Police patrols, ambulances, and specialised police teams rushed to the scene and quickly addressed the situation. According to the reports, the woman was reversing the car when it fell out of the parking lot, killing the lady driver on the wheel,” 
“It appears that the woman did not break the fence but instead flew over it due to the speed of her vehicle. The police operations room received a call around 8am, after which four police vehicles and an ambulance and a Civil Defence truck were dispatched to the location,” “The scene was cleared in less than 30 minutes. The victim suffered major injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Investigations are still ongoing to find out the exact cause of the accident,” 
SOURCE G: Witness statement: a Bangladeshi executive employee at the complex( quoted by Gulf News)
the woman worked in an oil and gas company and the vehicle fell within the complex’s premises.
“Police responded immediately and the scene was cleared in about 20 minutes or so. According to what we heard, she was taken to Khalifa Hospital at the Shaikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC) where she was pronounced dead,”
