Australian stripper dies in freak accident after pole dancing practice goes amiss

By Dana Hedgpeth February 22, 2017

Amateur Queensland erotic dancer Henry Owen Davies lived in an apartment in Spring Hill, Brisbane city. His life was cut tragically short on Sunday after plunging 74 levels to his death.

The accident occurred in his apartment, Meriton Suites, at roughly 11PM. Davies had illegally scaled onto the top of the tower to practice pole dancing on the building’s antenna, when he lost his footing as a result of torrential rain from the previous nights. Henry slid off the roof and landed head-first onto traffic below.

An ambulance was called after the accident, but Davies was declared dead at the scene.

Frankly I'm surprised the story didn't say the antenna snapped... What on earth was this dolt thinking? Thanks, Douglas!
