Fall kills student
[Who are they kidding? This was a cull. -ed]
A Carleton University engineering student participating in a spitting contest with friends plunged 11 floors off a downtown highrise to his death late Saturday night. Ameer “AJ” Jinah was celebrating his 20th birthday in his apartment with about a dozen friends when the accident happened about 11 p.m.
Police said it appears Jinah took a running start to try to spit farther 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.
Police said alcohol was being consumed at the party.
They don’t make Engineering Students the way they used to. But think of the bright side – how many lives were saved because of his absense from the construction industry?
“He was one of the smartest, most polite guys I ever met in my life,” he said. “I think he was one of the classiest guys. He had a maturity beyond his age.”
He was three? Maybe I’m being harsh.
Hey Kate,
I’ve been reading for the last couple of weeks and I’d just like to say you crack me up! Great stuff.
Sounds like a candidate for the Darwin Awards.
I think you’re being a little harsh. Don’t judge people like that after they die. Think of all the people who are suffering from this death. “How many lives were saved because of his absence from the construction industry.” What does that have to do with anything? The fact that he fell over a rail affects the way he would have applied himself to his work? Your point is quite invalid.
That wasn’t harsh.
Harsh is finding your autopsy photos at Rotten.com
We’ve all been in situations where we have not made the best choices. In this instance a tragic accident occured with the gravest of consequences.
His family is living there worst nightmere. Would you like to write something funny or insulting about that aswell?
I hope and pray that you, and those that are akin to you never have to bury a loved one, irrespective of the circumstances surrounding there demise.
Attention readers:
Should the day ever come to pass that I meet my demise by flinging myself, drunk, over a balcony rail in an attempt to win a spitting contest…
Or through events equally as stupid…
You have my consent to cover the funeral via webcam, to record for posterity the unmerciful jokes my friends and family are certain to roll out during the eulogies.
Jesus, even my mother would have to stifle a giggle through her tears.
I am astounded at the insensitivity of your post. As a friend of AJ, I search for his name online to read all of the articles that have been written about the accident and I come to your site, as I’m sure other friends will. His end in no way reflects his life. AJ was incredibly mature, intelligent and above all well-loved by everyone who met him. It is a tragic loss certainly to everyone who knew him, and to those who never had the opportunity as well.
Then, stop Googling before you find worse.
As a friend of AJ’s I’m disgusted at what you’ve written. Everybody is having a hard time coming to terms with his death and it certainly reminds us of the frailty of life. How many times have WE ALL engaged in mindless things without ever considering what the worst consequences from our actions could be? This is a true tragedy and his parents are living a nightmare right now. However you feel about the manner of his death, please take into consideration the feelings of those who have an inescapable void in their lives now that he has passed. Believe me, nobody is laughing.
For every 1 person not laughing, there are 5 people who are.
Well, you obviously didnt know him, and that gives you the right to condemn him. But honestly I find it hard to believe you have never done something that you regret when drunk (remember that guy who smelled like ketchup?) And so, you know what, I hope a good friend of yours dies in something similar, so you get to mourn your friend and people that dont know them post blogs about them that make you feel horrible.
So none of you have ever made a mistake or done anything remotely foolish in your life? I doubt that. Mistakes happen, things go wrong, people get hurt. Shame on you for judging a dead man who cannot even defend himself so harshly. You’ll remember him the next time you do something so foolish. And you’ll think twice. The guy was human. Maybe his death should just be a lesson to us all. Grow up, and let the man’s soul rest in peace.
You ignorant people find it funny that an ambitious young man accidentally and tragically died leaving friends and family to mourn, but what i find funny is that people like ‘kate’ and others on here, are so ignorant that they have such little respect for those who are mounrning . they feel the desire to put down down someone who passed away and cannot even defend themself.You people are pathetic. you are the true tragedy
What I find funny is the amount of effort being put into defending this guy’s memory. I know how many blogs you guys have been hitting, and I know you’re going to an awful lot of effort to seek out things that you know in advance are going to hurt and upset you.
My advice? Let it go. Treasure your memories, and leave us horrid mean people to live out our miserable, empty, loveless lives in peace, ‘K?
You know it is REALLY REALLY sick that people sit around and post shit like this about people they dont know and then have the oddacity to laugh about such a tragic event. AJ was one of my good friends and I dont think that anyone can say one bad word about him. He was considerate to everyone and only wanted the best for his friends. To all you pathetic loosers who have nothing else to do with your time than write about other people’s deaths try this: sit back and try to imagine your close friend not being there anymore….then multiply that feeling by 10000….that’s how his friends and family feels….SO JUST DROP IT!
If you’d prefer, I can rewrite the entry.
Think long and hard before saying “yes”.
Andrew, your actions on this remind me of the friend that was so offended by adult movies that he kept going back to the theatre showing them so he could get offended again.
If “loosers” [sic] want to say snarky things about a death whose circumstances were previously the province only of sketch-comedy bits, let ’em. If it bothers you, don’t look.
It’s really very simple.
I loved AJ. You guys have way too much time on your hands, and not enough compassion in your hearts. I wish everyone and their loved ones health, happiness and peace, and may your noses never be rubbed in your mistakes. On the upside, it is amazing to see the number of people talking about this.
