"Our understanding is that he alone broke out the window and then fell out of it," Gernon said. “He was running into it at some point and accidentally broke it out and lost his balance and fell out the window.”Whaley was “yelling and screaming” in his hotel room after an earlier event on Bourbon Street, one witness told police, according to an NOPD incident report. One witness said he yelled “let’s go swimming” and rammed the window three times with his shoulder before it broke.

I'm assuming he didn't hit the pool?

Wouldn't this be ruled a suicide?

Probably thought he was gonna be all daring and jump from the window into the pool. Now he's dead. Smart fricking guy.

You assume correctly

Looks like he misjudged the pool. For being such a scholar, his physics were completely off.

Real smart thing to do especially when you're 11 stories up.

Even in my most fricked up of nights, I've never thought to inflict self harm, especially falling from high places, i'm terrified of heights

He was 7 stories above the pool. Nobody gets drunk enough to think they can jump ~70' into 8' of water (if they land in the deep end.

This guy was probably just clowning around and didn't think there was any possibility of actually knocking the glass out of the frame.

Ya know... I've been drunk before. I've said stupid things, and done stupid things. But I've never thought that jumping from an 11th floor window into a pool was a reasonable idea. I'm sympathetic for the family, but that's just insane.
