Singapore, Feb. 22, (AP): A Chinese teenager studying in Singapore fell to his death from a third-floor window after leaping on his bed in a wild dance "imitating a rock guitarist," a news report said today.

Li Xiao Meng, a 16-year-old business student from China, was bouncing around with his guitar in Singapore's Novena Hall International Students Hostel on November 17 last year when he "unintentionally (fell) out of the window," state coroner Tan Boon Heng told the Straits Times newspaper.

"He was hyped up with exhilaration, jumping up and down on the bed placed against an open window while imitating a rock guitarist," Tan said, ruling the accident as death by misadventure.

The newspaper reported that Li often met with his friends in one of their rooms, where they smoked, sang and played their guitars.

Tan was not immediately available for comment.

Tan urged authorities to improve safety at the dormitory, saying the room's window latch had been tampered with. The boys apparently kept the window open because they liked to smoke, even though it was banned by the hostel.

Li's father, Li Zhong Yuan, 58, expressed sorrow over what happened to his only child.

"Now he's gone and at my age, I don't think I can have another child," Li told the Straits Times.

"Tan was not immediately available for comment."
maybe thats y its in the paper NOW not then.

yeah, new meaning to death metal. :lol:
poor guy. if only he'd stick to the floor instead.
 
if im not mistaken i read this piece of news quite some time back ,and as shared by the earlier posters, maybe it was because the cause of death wasn't verified. it really is a bizarre incident. hope that guy rests in peace.
 
sad thing ehs.
come all the way from china to singapore for a purpose, only to have his life taken just for jumping around. but the are the windows that big enough to fall off?
tsktsk.
smoking ~
 
man this was quite long ago.but actually its also his fault.but i dont really tink he actually died cause he accidently fell out of the window.its kinda weird.Mayb someone pushed him out or something.i mean u cant possibly JUS JUMP OUT CAN U.
 
yah
unless the window is directly under you or the way you jump is well, u go sideways... which is so IMPOSSIBLE...

old case, but u always read this kind of stuffs in the papers..stuffs that happened few months back yadda2...
 
Maybe he was doing what those emo/hardcore guitarists do when they jump high and spin around, except maybe he accidently threw himself instead of staying in the one spot.
 
while yer laughing here & there coz apparently itz just some china boy passing away frm a stupid incident, it might b a homicide like hey who knows? our police r nt tht experienced & professional like Scotland Yard or FBI. No matter how much training/preparation there is, some cases do get cold/ill-ruled. Anyways..this is a sad case. Nobody wants b happy abt such things
 
yea its fishy.it cant possibly he jus accidently fell out.there maybe another side of the story.we dont knowww.
