He was young and hot. It sounds like he had been partying with friends prior to the incident. Alcohol has a way of bringing out the stupid in people. I do disagree with the those who call him a victim. He had absolute control over his fate and chose to take a pointless risk. He is no more a victim than someone who falls from a tightrope or freezes to death climbing a mountain. A victim would be someone who did not have a choice like someone injured by idiots doing these dumb stunts.
Maybe we should start a trend where hot young guys simulate rigor mortise as they are being abused. ;-)
