MustOfBeenDrunk Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/man-die...12810?Gt1=39002 CHICAGO (AP) Authorities have identified a man who fell to his death from a ledge at Soldier Field during the Chicago Bears game on Sunday afternoon. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office says 23-year-old Stewart Haverty of suburban Woodstock was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Chicago police say Haverty fell around 4:55 p.m. Sunday during the NFL matchup between the Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles. Chicago Fire Chief Joe Roccasalva says he landed on a small rooftop on the outside the stadium. Witnesses told authorities the man ran to a ledge and jumped. It's the second death in a week at a major sporting arena. On Nov. 21, a 2-year-old boy fell from a luxury box at the Staples Center during a Los Angeles Lakers game.

ABearWithFurniture Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Sad no matter what the truth but did he fall or jump ? I think since he ran up to the ledge and jumped, that would be considered a jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustOfBeenDrunk Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Chicago (AP) "Man Dies After Sudden Stop" Happy? never happy when someone dies but I was questioning the title because to me Fall = accident Jump = suicide ( not always but it is the 1st thing that comes to mind ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 never happy when someone dies but I was questioning the title because to me Fall = accident Jump = suicide ( not always but it is the 1st thing that comes to mind ) perhaps he "jumped" but he wasn't trying to kill himself. like he thought there was a ledge, or he misjudged a distance. I have no idea the specifics of the case, but I don't think "jump" and "fall" are necessarily at odds in a scenario like this. if his death was accidental, they are going to label it a fall, as something clearly didn't go according to plan. this seems like a weird thing to obsess over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I don't know how he knows this, but today the VP of my company said the guy was a skilled mountain climber and he climbed to a forbidden area to sneak a smoke. From this area he either fell or jumped (trying to get back down). Usually skilled climber and smoker don't go together but the story makes sense.
