Death by Air Guitar Misadventure

Posted on February 22, 2006 by CD

This would be tragic if I could just stop laughing! The big question is who was he mimicking? Also, is ‘misadventure’ an acceptable cause of death?

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – A teenage guitarist got so carried away while bouncing up and down on his bed mimicking a rock star that he flew out of a third floor window to his death, a Singapore newspaper reported Wednesday.
The Straits Times said Li Xiao Meng, a 16-year-old from China who was studying at Singapore’s Hua Business School, was a keen musician who liked to jump up and down while playing his guitar in his hostel room.
“But on November 17 he took things a bit too far,” the newspaper said, reporting on a coroner’s court findings.
Ruling death by misadventure, the court said evidence “points to the deceased unintentionally falling out of the window to his death when he was hyped up with exhilaration, jumping up and down on the bed placed against an open window while mimicking a rock guitarist.””
Normally the windows were locked, the newspaper said, but students sometimes forced them open so they could smoke, something prohibited by the hostel.

    Apparently there’s a pretty hardcore air guitar scene :

    I’ve always wanted to check out a competition, but never seem to be in the right place at the right time.
