A teenage guitarist in Singapore 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 local newspaper said Li Xiao Meng was a 16-year-old from China who was studying at Singapore's Hua Business School.
He was a keen musician who liked to jump up and down while playing his guitar in his hostel room.
"But ... he took things a bit too far", the newspaper said, reporting on a coroner's findings.
The court ruled it was a death by misadventure and 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".
