Shopping boyfriend jumps

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

While on a shopping trip Tao Hsiao, 38, had enough of his girlfriend's spending spree and decided to take the sensible approach to deal with his girlfriend's spending habits by jumping seven storeys to his death.

The argument began while shopping over shoes, to which Tao had pointed out his girlfriend had more than enough shoes, more than what she actually wore. this quickly grew in to a furious argument where Tao was accused of being cheap. The argument came to an end when Tao threw down the bags of shopping down and jumped over the balcony to his death sending many panics and scared shoppers running.

It's unclear as to whether it was his intention to kill himself or if he was just trying to get away and forgot how high up he was. However the result was he smashed through several Christmas decorations and a stall before hitting the ground. Certainly not the best way to start the Christmas holidays.

Thanks, Stephen, but we've already received this story. We typically don't award suicides because it typically means the victim has mental/psychological issues, and there's nothing funny about that.
