My guess is drugs. Very peculiar to die before the fall. Panic attack makes sense, I guess.

Panic attack makes you FEEL like your heart will stop. It never does. If it does, it was something more than panic.

Now panic, pass out from fear of heights, hit ground? That can stop a heart.

Like Prince. Everything is pud-pulling until an autopsy comes out.

So who does the family sue first, the Jumbotron company? MSU? or maybe the guy they named the stadium after. Someone has to be at fault for not preventing this guy from climbing up.

Why was he on the jumbotron to begin with? Was he an employee of the university doing work?

At 1:30 in the morning? I doubt it.

It's one of the "cool" things to do on campus.

She is taking to FB to talk about his death already?

Weird


Not really. The poor girlfriend is probably still in shock this even happened and is writing her thoughts on facebook to help her cope at the moment.

Given her age, she was raised with facebook so it's not abnormal she would take to a social media site to try and express her feelings.

And I read both her posts, and both were well-written, and sad, but not attention-whorish.

Agreed, but it's still pretty attention-whorish.

His weight caused the top of the Jumbotron to collapse. It wasn't designed to be walked on, so he probably lost his balance.
