Wait a second, about a month ago people kept mentioning an interview where Bruno Heller said that Partridge's death was important to the story. There is a reason why he died there and an important clue to RJ's identity could be seen in that scene.

Am I missing something here? What was so important about his death? Just the fact that he was part of the Blake association? Or the fact that RJ used Partridge's access level to get corpses and DNA? Because none of those things explain why he needed to be dead, if he was part of the Blake association he could just provide those things as a favor to a fellow tiger tiger.

And what was the big clue? Pigeons? Wtf that's no clue that would like to Mcallister since we had no way of knowing back then that he was scared of tiny dinosaurs.

I would appreciate if someone could clear those 2 things for me because Im definitely missing why Bruno Heller said that there was a reason why Partridge needed to die at that moment and what was the big clue in that scene that led to RJ's identity.
