Teen Accidentally Falls Four Stories To His Death In Snapchat Stunt Gone Wrong

 

 

A 17-year-old boy is dead after a Snapchat stunt went horribly wrong at a Singapore mall last week.

 

Skateboarder Jonathan Chow often filmed little stunts for social media, so when he planned to hop the railing onto the outer ledge of an upper floor walkway at the Orchard Central mall, he and his friend Ruth thought this was no different.

 

Unfortunately, what looked like more of a concrete ledge was in fact decorative plasterboard, unintended to support any weight.

 

When Jonathan landed, the ledge immediately gave way, and the teen fell four stories to his death.

 

Ruth, who was filming the stunt, told local outlet Today Online:

 

"We both thought the ledge was made of concrete, but when he jumped, he fell straight through. I knew it was dangerous, but before I could stop him, he already jumped over."
