Man's body is split into 3 parts after falling from 20 stories

[Fook Seng]

Perhaps you can factor in that he fell unto some railings and not just on the bare concrete. From the article it mentioned part of his body fell unto the railings that caused his body parts to be severed.

That's where the experts need to come in whether the railings can such damage. If I remember my science, the terminal velocity is only 100+ kph.

That damned loser should choose a method that doesn't inconvenience the rest of us.

How about those who choose to die in the reservoirs... Still need divers to search & recover their bodies!

 

[Raiders]

Why are there so many people killing themselves? Wondering if this is only the tip of the iceberg and there are more unreported cases.

If don't want to be inconvenienced then lobby papaya to legalise suicide.

Make it into a new intenational ly world class industry.

Ask Ramseth, he's good at dissecting bodies

It's most probably due to falling across open windows. It was a 20-storey fall. Not surprising across two open windows or more. Open-out windows instead of sliding (whether left-right or up-down) windows are the most stupid design in Singapore highrise even if suicide or accidental fall isn't taken into consideration. Nowhere else, uniquely only in in Singapore. Go take a tour around the world and see if you can refute that.

Why not? He fell unto the railings which severed his body parts. It's like dropping a piece of meat unto something sharp or something with a small surface area like the railings and it'll break up the meat.

My incomprehension is that the parts are scattered very far apart. You would expect the impact that broke the bones or joints would have very little strength left to tear away the flesh and send one piece the distance of some tens of meters away. This piece, is it the head? Anyone who has seen similar things before?

lianbeng says sorry if any misunderstanding occurred. maybe u try dropping a flower pot from 20-storey lah then see how it gets smashed into pieces - maybe thats how he broke into 3 parts lor.

A flower pot if you drop it from one storey, it will probably break into many pieces. For a man from 20-storey, you probably have to try something similar to a body. The short cut is to get a forensic expert who probably has a guide book on what actually to expect. I just find the situation somewhat strange.

nah..it is not strange...must consider the deceased weight plus the gravity pull..and and the railing the body fell on....viola...
