Proof- loogies can kill
Man Falls To Death During Spitting Contest
Man dies in 11-storey fall
A Carleton University engineering student participating in a spitting contest with friends plunged 11 floors off a downtown high-rise to his death late Saturday night.
Police said it appears Jinah took a running start to try to spit further than his two friends when he unintentionally vaulted himself over the balcony railing.
"It was purely accidental," said Ottawa police Sgt. Joe Simpson. "Momentum carried him beyond."
