Original submission (one of six):

Apparently this young couple was trying to replenish the very portion of the population that Darwin Awards celebrates by procreating in a most Darwin-esque fashion!! You won't find this in the Kama Sutra.

Following is the television station web address and story.

http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=6683978

"COLUMBIA, SC (WIS/AP) - Columbia police are investigating the deaths of a young couple found naked on a city street after apparently falling four stories from a rooftop.

Columbia Police Sergeant Florence McCants says the man and woman were in their early 20s.

Shortly after 5am Wednesday, authorities say a taxi driver found the two nude bodies on Laurel Street between Gadsden and Assembly streets in downtown Columbia.

Police Chief Dean Crisp said it appears the people fell from the roof of 1812 Lincoln Street. The roof is pyramid-shaped metal, likely slick on a damp morning.

The two were alive when found but were pronounced dead after being taken to Palmetto Health Richland Hospital.

McCants says the preliminary investigation appears to show the couple died accidentally. She says there were no indications of foul play.

Clothing was discovered on the roof, about 50 feet above the street. And that leads authorities to suspect the man and woman may have been having sex.

The incident happened near the Old Chamber of Commerce building in downtown Columbia near Finlay Park.

The names of the victims have not been released.

An eyewitness account was given to police by a homeless couple sleeping in the garage last night. We'll tell you what they saw and what they heard tonight at 6:00pm on WIS News 10."
