Two nude dancers leap to death

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two American male exotic dancers visiting Montreal, QC, Canada phoned a friend at 3am, telling him they were leaving the bar were they had been partying and were heading in a cab to an after-hour bar to Laval, a city just North West of Montreal.

For some reason, they decided not to pay the fare. Upon reaching their destination, they jumped out of the cab, ran over a security barrier and fell 15 meters (about 40 feet) into a quarry. Their bodies were found 12 days later, about 300 meters from the bar.

The story made the papers, probably because we Canadians don't like the idea of our neighbors to the South getting killed while visiting us even if they choose not to pay their cab fare. Foul play was suspected. However, the coroner concluded, after viewing a video showing the cab going after the two men but backing up when nearing the quarry, that the fall was an accident. "They ran in an unknown environment, and, on top of that, at night", said the coroner, concluding foul play was "more than improbable". In case you are wondering, it seems they fell in the quarry at the exact same time.

Maybe the two young men should just have called it a night. Why go to a bar if you cannot afford the cab ride to get there? Why give the exact address where you are going if you plan to run away? It seems they die like they live, without much planning or thought...

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
After much thought, I will concur with Bruce. Normally, I would write such incidents off as a by-product of drunkenness and/or unfamiliarity with the area in the dark, but in this case we have DEAD-BEATS involved! Whenever deadbeats get theirs, I almost feel as if there is a moral lesson to be learned! I'll go DA!
