Oh man, that’s terrible. I hope his band mates and his family are ok.
Had to scroll down much too far to find this simple human sentiment. I guess we can take solace in the fact that he lived a lot in his 31 years? Still. Too young.
Fuck TMZ for posting his dead body yesterday just to prove they were the ones “breaking the news”. That shit was cached my news reader even after they removed it.
The actual fuck? That’s disgusting.
Welcome to “the news”
I’ve been wanting to make this joke since I saw this headline posted on Lemmy yesterday and I cannot hold it back anymore. My apologies to everyone:
spoiler
I guess we finally found out which direction was the one: down.
Again, I’m so sorry.
The Payne is real
Again, I’m so sorry.
Went into rehab last year, my guess is a relapse. Bad for everyone involved.

His Ex also recently issued a cease and desist with some evidence of abuse.
I first thought he might have criticized Putin but this just seems like a really tragic accident for real.
All untimely deaths are sad and a loss of potential. I’ve never heard of this guy but I do know the band was famous for a while. Going on Spotify I didn’t recognize any of the songs though. Either way, balconies are dangerous. If you are young and/or prone to shenanigans or leaning over railings please stay towards the bottom of the building. Don’t let the good times get out of hand!
As someone with acrophobia, this justifies my fear of balconies and railings over 1 story tall. I don’t understand humans’ architectural obsession with giant voids and heights. I’m the kinda person who’s asshole puckers up looking at a two story mall ceiling.
Most railings I’ve seen really need to be higher. If the top isn’t higher than your center of gravity, there’s very little preventing you from going over.
Humans tend to be pretty good at not falling. This is coming from someone who spent their teenage years and early 20s smoking on the roof. (European style appartment roofs that are closed to access and sloped without railings).
Though I was also a mountain climber so maybe I’ve been desensitised to heights ;).
Movies make it look like you can shrug off a fall from a 1 story building and just keep running. But wow, is that not true. There are instances of people surviving a lot more, but 1-2 stories is enough to kill much of the time.
People can get seriously hurt falling down a chair, or on their head from just standing upright.
That’s just my limit to where I start getting heebie jeebies. About 15-20 feet or so.
It’s a healthy reflex up to a point. Your body doesn’t want to fall. But if it’s causing you daily anxiety that’s going a little too far. Stress is not healthy either.
