Cute jock commits suicide by jumping off the Vessel in Hudson Yards

Sounds like it may have been accidental.

Regardless....

It's always a tragedy when the hawt ones die.

Uh, Jessica Fletcher at r1, what about this sounds accidental to you?

[quote] the teen was by himself when he “[bold]got on a railing and jumped off[/bold] from the sixth floor”

Aww poor kid.

Drugs?

Also, why does his uniform in OP's pic say "Red Devils", but the uniform is actually dark green? Does that make sense to anyone?

He had a hot ass....

R4, are you color blind?

Super sad. I am, however surprised that this is the first jump from this Star Trek-looking suicide apparatus. It just beckons for jumps.

CTE?

This is so sad. Because he was cute.

Otherwise, whatever.

It really is an awesome structure. It would be awful if they have to put up fences everywhere

He could've jumped off any building in NYC, but no-- He picked that monstrosity to go out with style and flair!!! Definitely GAY!

is he smelling cookies?

[quote] is he smelling cookies?

Not anymore.

He [bold]accidentally[/bold] got on a railing and jumped off from the sixth floor. Happy now R2?

gurl, NO

Will the city put up fences to keep people from jumping? Will they install nets to catch jumpers?

Can I have his stuff?

Any naked pics?

Was he distraught over Kobe's death?

He was trying to set a record for the Hudson Yard Dash.

he won

Waste of hit ass and d

He just couldn't leave an attractive corpse! What a selfish bastard! His poor parents.

I wish someone had told him that it gets better.

I am in love love love with R6 and r14!!

You guys married? Because I’m proposing.

I offer a dowry if necessary. (Two mules and a tulip plant.)

When I first heard about this, I thought he could have been trying to get a danger selfie and fell off.

Poor guy. Sometimes I think suicide is the only rational response to this shitty world and only the most clear-eyed and uncompromising have the nerve to do it. The rest of us just grow old and die in our own shit.

^ how comforting

HCHFMH

RIP

r27 gets it.

Better, get R27 some help.

R27, That could be your epitaph.

His hat blew off.

Rugby.... Probably concussion too... Sad....

[quote]The teen’s parents “are the nicest people, absolute sweethearts. He was their only child,

He was PUSHED off "The Hive".

I see nothing wrong with suicide, if one's situation is absolutely hopeless.

I suppose a suicide is beyond the point of reason, but if they stopped to think that it isn't just them, there are a lot of people usually tethered to them and they go down too.

He's not looking that hot here.

I'm not sure people in that kind of pain have a lot empathy left, R37

R36 All our situations are hopeless. It's just a matter of time. But I like chocolate and stepping into a hot bath too much to do it.

Accutane?

[quote] Better, get R27 some help.

Toss him one of your extra commas. That might make him feel better.

Anyway, the wind blows...

[quote] Accutane?

No, he jumped off a building. He didn’t burn to death.

[quote]But I like chocolate and stepping into a hot bath too much to do it.

So did I.

OMG, you people are awful. Hilarious but awful.

And...SPLAT

Messy.

[quote] His hat blew off.

His god damn head was in it!

He was 19, shabbiness is a forgivable offense in that age range.

[quote] I see nothing wrong with suicide, if one's situation is absolutely hopeless.

Hopelessness is relative.

he should have taken a trip to Africa

I hope they were able to harvest and store some of his sperm to create a future generation.

There was a thread about this on Reddit. A friend of the deceased posted, and someone who was there offered to Pm them what they saw.

Meh.

Perhaps since climbing the Vessel is the perfect example of the pointlessness of modern life - wait in a long line, struggle up a bunch of staircases for an IG pic. Surprised more don’t jump. Can we finally get rid of this thing?

I wish they would test the HIV status of suicide victims. I think it would clear-up a lot of mysteries.

The Vessel actually a beautiful attraction with a very individualistic stair pattern, based on ancient East Indian structures.

cute? he looks like a lesbian.

OP - Where is this cute jock you mention?

I hope his parents left his penis intact because now it's probably the only thing that still is.

Was he gay and couldn't handle it?

LOL, r61!

[quote] I wish they would test the HIV status of suicide victims. I think it would clear-up a lot of mysteries.

They usually do. Blood work is SOP for an autopsy.

The coroners aren’t testing blood for Hiv

I’m not a medical examiner, but I’ve seen autopsy reports. Also, think about Andrew Cunanan as one famous example. They expressly ruled out he was HIV+.

On that celebrity autopsy show the doctor often says if there’s rumors floating around, such as Patrick Swaze, that his blood tested negative for HIV.

I believe in a case of “natural” or “expected” death they wouldn’t, but in something that could be litigated, or a crime, I think they routinely test for everything.

I'm on it

He was an only child. His father died some years back.

Pity his poor mom.😢

Quincy, can you get everyone's favorite bulldyke CSI, Jorja Fox, to be your assistant?
