Sweden for such a small country sure sees a lot of its people die here compared to other nations.

Now if he was on the fourth floor it might have been a different story but ground floor not much chance of a fall

I expect what is being referred to here is the size of the population rather than the land area

I know the UK population would be grateful for half as much space as the Swedes have per head

Some troll posts have been removed.

RIP young man.
