A 45-year-old man lost his balance and fell to his death at a Rhode Island mall on Monday night.

 

The man plunged to his death shortly after he was seen “clowning around and riding the rail of the escalator” a witness told authorities, according to a police report obtained by WPRI.

 

The man — who was later identified as Josh Martin, a veteran guitarist from the Massachusetts grindcore scene, by Pitchfork — fell from Providence Place Mall’s second floor around 10:45 p.m.

 

Martin landed in the mall’s food court, slamming his head on a table. He was treated for head trauma at the scene and was transported to Rhode Island Hospital by paramedics, where he was later pronounced dead, WPRI reports.

Well at least he died doing what he loved.

Maybe someone pushed him to his death, have they investigated?? Or just declared it as an accident?? Or is that only for Thailand? ??
