[edit] Cause of Death
I heard an autoposy (autopsy) showed the cause of death was a heart attach (attack) prior to landing. Can anyone verify?--Twintone 17:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
i agree with you. i'm not sure if i red (read) it on the top of the eiffel tower or down in the square below, but i think it was that way. He got so scared when he saw it wasn't working that he had a heart attack, so he was died (dead) when he hit the ground. He should try from somewhere lower before...
Apparently, the fall was only 60 meters (from article). That would take about 3.5 seconds to fall, neglecting air resistance. His chute probably slowed him a bit, but I doubt it slowed him enough to give him time to die from a heart attack. Amoran (talk) 10:21, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] French Stub?
The man was Austrian, so why is this a "French people stub"? 84.190.234.25 19:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
