eh i ask u ar..why Mount E so near Orchard but they don't bring him there?Originally posted by Rhonda:http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/175091/1/.html
There's the news.
He probably died of EDH - Extra-dural hemorrhage. He probably landed in the Neuro ICU in SGH.
-
I wonder what happened to make him fall ...
Was he playing with his friends and then lost his footing?
Was he pushed?
Was he so engrossed in talking that he didn't watch his steps? -
No idea... have to ask the ambulance staff.Originally posted by stellazio:eh i ask u ar..why Mount E so near Orchard but they don't bring him there?
Could be because Mt E is a private hospital. Maybe, they knew that this man was already dying anyways?
Certain types of bleeding in the brain, there's nothing that can be done to save the folks.
Sometimes, the minute we see these folks wheeled in on trolleys from the A&E, we already know. -
heard from my friend who said he heard from others,is there was a fight...its impossible he fell by himself la,the railings there are like 1.5M..And its not a very crowded place the 3rd storey near the old amore fitness school..Originally posted by Rhonda:I wonder what happened to make him fall ...

he probaly was too scared to think of how to break his fall..if he landed sideways on his arms or anything maybe a broken elbow or what..but i guesses he landed headfirst...Originally posted by Rhonda:No idea... have to ask the ambulance staff.

Impetuous, hot-headed youngsters. A life lost, just like that!
If only more folks would think before embarking on their stupid actions! -
Nope... the news article says, "He survived the fall... but he later died of his injuries".Originally posted by stellazio:he probaly was too scared to think of how to break his fall..if he landed sideways on his arms or anything maybe a broken elbow or what..but i guesses he landed headfirst...
He couldn't have landed headfirst. If he did, it would have been immediate death upon impact.
BTW, I've nursed two patients who were 'jumpers', one jumped off the 9th storey of an HDB block and survived, the other, the 3rd floor. Have also nursed an illegal immigrant who jumped off the 4th floor of a carpark and survived too. -
Eh, stella... we're not like cats, ok!
When we're in the midst of free-falling, you're shocked, scared, everything happens in a split second... you probably didn't even realise that you ARE falling... how to think about where to fall on? Even if you did, you think you can do the somersault on time and land on the desired location? -
my friend said his head was in a pool of blood though..i know we can't expect to land properly,but erm ain't it something like common sense to land sideways on your arms or anything..okok fine maybe to me it is cause i had received training on how to break falls,maybe his senses went out when he was falling,but if only he had landed on his arms sideways..
-
When you're caught in surprise and in shock, before you even think about landing wherever and however, you've already landed splat!

I'm sure that soon, there'll be tales of his ghost lurking in Orchard Cineleisure.

wait i should go ask my friend who works in that coffehouse on the 2nd floor on whether she saw it..
-
What a horrid way to die... and his poor parents must be beside themselves with grief now. Bai fa ren song hei fa ren!
-
Those who saw him fall or saw him land must be having nightmares tonight!
