(17 November 2005, Singapore) Picture a college dorm room. Dirty laundry, sexy posters, food wrappers, textbooks, and in the middle of it all, a 16-year-old male rocking out to loud music.

A typical student, a typical day. But this particular student, bouncing on his bed and rocking out on his guitar, was about to "take things too far," according to the coroner's report.

Li Xiao Meng, a student at Singapore's Hua Business School, bounced up and down on his bed with such enthusiasm that he rocked himself right out of the third-floor window.

Normally the windows are locked, but students reportedly force the locks so they can sneak a cigarette. Perhaps alluding to Ted Nugent's song, the court ruled it, "Death By Misadventure."

A teenager got so carried away while bouncing up and down on his bed mimicking a rock star that he flew out of a third floor window to his death, a Singapore newspaper reports. Li Xiao Meng, a 16-year-old from China who was studying at Singapore's Hua Business School, was a keen musician who liked to jump up and down while playing his guitar in his hostel room, The Straits Times said.

"But on November 17 he took things a bit too far," the newspaper said, reporting on a coroner's court findings.

Ruling death by misadventure, the court said evidence "points to the deceased unintentionally falling out of the window to his death when he was hyped up with exhilaration, jumping up and down on the bed placed against an open window while mimicking a rock guitarist".

Normally the windows were locked, the newspaper said, but students sometimes forced them open so they could smoke, something prohibited by the hostel.

This is right out of the "Simpsons!" Although it's tragic, it is a very funny mental picture. Let's see what everyone else thinks of this one, Sam.

We received this story when it first came out and I nixed it thinking the victim was too young. I was mistaken! In the end, he WASN'T too young. I really liked this story, so I'm glad it was resubmitted! I'll vote DA this time around!
