So who is the murderer? Jack, Steve, or Michael? Let us find out

If we follow the story as it is narrated we are aware of the fact that Jack was carrying an iPod that is not exactly harmful. Meanwhile, Michael also had documents that could not possibly lead to a murder. So the chances are that Patrick’s murderer can be the 2nd friend Steve, the banker. The obvious question that follows is how?

Well, Steve was actually carrying a thermos. In a Sauna, the thermos was obviously carrying cold/iced water. Therefore, the greatest possibility is that Patrick was killed by Steve who brought an ice shard into his thermos. The murder weapon basically the ice shard had melted away by the time the cops arrived.
