NY boy, 9, made plastic parachute, took death dive

NEW YORK (AP) — A friend says a 9-year-old New York City boy might have been imitating a video game character when he apparently made a plastic parachute and jumped to his death from his apartment building's roof.

Police say Domori Miles likely cobbled a plastic bag and rope together before flying off the 13-story Brooklyn building Tuesday. The items were found on the ground near his body.

Ten-year-old friend Shakar Murrel says Domori was a fan of the wrestling game "WWE SmackDown vs. Raw" and loved wrestler Jeff Hardy's swan dives.

Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment expresses sympathy but calls for "a full investigation ... before conclusions are made." It says no "SmackDown vs. Raw" characters jump off buildings or use parachutes.

Domori's mother tells police she had gone to the store.

I'm glad that someone in the article pointed out that jumping off a building equipped with a plastic bag parachute has about as much to do with wrestling as going to the pet store does with Pokemon.

That's fucking retarded.

It's totally more Matt Hardy's style.

New Jeff Hardy gimmick, parachutes to the ring?

but seriously



It annoys me when people use video games as an excuse for raising fucked up children.

It's just a way of getting some money out of a pointless tragedy.

Funny you should say that, I bit the inside of my cheek and it fucking hurts. It's clearly the fault of Resident Evil games for showing such gratuitous and cannibalistic violence.

I thought they were gonna blame it on GTA sky diving.

Who here hasn't made a parachute and jumped off of something?

Luckily I was a pussy that didn't have to balls to jump off a huge building, what a bad ass.

Imagine how pimp he'd have felt if it actually worked. Coolest kid on the block.

the police: we see no other reason why this kid died, must of had something to do with wrestling video games, not the tv show itself....this case is closed.

That's natural selection, and besides these things have lost their interest value
We're better off without him anyway...
Me thinks he got the idea off a a parajumper military game (MOH, BIA, COD anyone?)

Oh really? You were at the store while your nine year old son jumped off the roof of a 13 story building?

The only logical excuse for your negligent parenting is that he would have jumped off the roof under your supervision because of the influence of WWE.
