Mediaman Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/01/18/balcony.death.ap/index.html NORTH FORT MYERS, Florida (AP) -- A woman fell to her death while trying to do a handstand on the railing of a second-floor hotel balcony, sheriff's officials said. Molly Jerman, 23, of Cape Coral died Sunday. While attempting a handstand, she toppled over and dropped to the hotel patio, according to the Lee County sheriff's department. Just before she fell, she had called out to a friend, "Watch to see what I can still do," a police report said. Foul play is not believed to be involved, officials said.

UConn James Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I know a guy who took a digger at five stories while at a party in one of the dorms. Faulty railing, I gather. Coma for 10 weeks. He was a real * in high school. Football/baseball/academic slacker. He was going to play for the U as a walkon. He now has the mental capacity of a 6-year-old. I've seen him at the library and at a BBall court in town, and it's weird trying to reconcile the new person in the same body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 That's nothin. I read a story about a man who commited suicide by decapitation. Apparently he tied one end of a rope to a lampost and the other around his neck. He then proceeds to get in his car and floor it. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiew Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 They may also sue the liquor store where she shopped before going to the motel. And also sue the friend who didn't run over to catch her before she fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, she was 23... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
