Anybody have any other news reports of this?

Bad news that Lenny..........are you in the area?

Dreadful news...I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. I guess it must be recent as well with so few details as yet?

It looks like the guy died back in Aberdeen on Monday.

RIP Gary, sad end.

Very sad news. RIP.

Very sad news. RIP.

Very sad indeed.

It seems odd that this hasn't been picked-up by the local press at all - even to report the building where it happened and whether there were any extenuating circumstances in this young fellas death.

Not really. I know of another guy who died after falling of the balcony of his building in Soi Excite a couple of weeks back and there was no report of it in the media. His fall was only one floor but he fell on his head.
