Tragic. Only 19 years old. Poor kid.
Sympathy to all of the family.

As with Pants, alcohol was the problem.
Maybe we need a culture shift that shows you can have a good time without getting shit-faced.

Heard about this earlier, very tragic to hear, and so young as well.

Seems as if a few do not know when to say "That's enough" the sooner people start to realise their not immortal and drinking too much alcohol can be dangerous the better.

Though the problem here is he probably got so shit-faced he forgot where he was and just stumbled to his death. Just really feel for the parents right now losing their son so very young.

Not that I am bagging the kid at all, it's still a tragedy.

This on the heels of another tragedy only a few weeks back.
A young boy, who was in the same year as my son at school, just turned 18, fell from a high rise building at the Gold Coast.
Climbing over and back of the railing, but the last climb over he never came back.
They think they are invincible with drugs and alcohol.
When will they learn.

Footy trips + heaps of booze = tragedy. Binge drinking on footy trips is a culture that needs to change. It's been that way for many a year and no one has done anything about it.

Jack was a mate of a mate of mine! He told me last night that he was only kicking the ball with him a couple weeks ago and now just cannot beleive this had happened!

One of the other boys took Jack back the apartments from a club because he had had quite a few to drink and left him there on hes own and now he blames himself for the death! Its very sad really but who knows what may have been going through this kids head at the time of when he fell?

R.I.P Jack, this is a very unfortunate tradgedy that has occured!!!
