Local Wannabe Rocker Rocks Out Too Hard, Rocks Right Out His Window And Plunges To His Death
News Edition: 03/04/2006
Terre Haute, IN-- A teenage guitarist got so carried away while bouncing up and down on his bed mimicking rock star Josh Holmes that he flew out of a third floor window to his death, a Crown Point newspaper reported yesterday.
The Post Tribune said Jason Jeka, a 16-year-old boy from Dyer, IN was a not so keen musician who liked to jump up and down while playing his guitar in his hotel room.
"But on March 3rd he took things a bit too far," the newspaper said, reporting on a coroner's findings.
Ruling death by misadventure, the Vigo County Sheriff's office 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 hotel.
