A game of trust took a deadly turn for an Australian diplomat, who plunged to his death from his Manhattan balcony early Wednesday during a night of boozing with friends and his wife, police sources said. Julian Simpson, 30, fell from the seventh floor to a second-floor landing at the Clinton Street building where he lived on the Lower East Side around 1:35 a.m., the sources said. Simpson was playing a trust game with a male pal when he accidentally took the fatal fall, a source said. I will prove it that you can trust me. Lets play the trust game, Simpson said to the 24-year-old man just moments before he slipped and fell, sources said. Simpson and his wife were out with friends for dinner and drinks before the group returned back to the Clinton Street residence and went up to the buildings wraparound roof deck to the enjoy the views of the Empire State Building, witnesses said. The iconic landmark tower was lit up in rainbow colors in celebration of Australias same-sex marriage vote. While on the roof, the diplomat, who serves as the second secretary to the UN for Australia, then climbed to a higher roof landing where he began swinging a female friend around, sources said.

A good start.
Trust game, yeah, that’s the ticket!

Wow! What are the odds!
So if NYC hadn’t decided to celebrate Australia’s pro-sodomy vote, this fidiot would still be alive.
“Falling five floors while drunk. Man.”

Really?
Sorry for the loss of life but play stupid games, win stupid prizes applies here perfectly.
I do believe the 24 year old man got away with an impulsive act of homicide. At least I credit him with coming up with a unique story for the non-suspicious investigators.
Thanks for posting the photos and article! I read about the incident in my local paper early this morning and I then spent most of the morning trying to figure out who was where, what was what, etc. The story was so confusing that I think you probably had to be drunk to follow it! Let alone be a part of it...
I wonder if the diplomat won the wife?
One down...
Kinda reminds me of John Ashe another UN official and friend of the Clintons. He met his untimely demise when a barbell fell on his head. That sounded like an old 3 Stooges routine that went wrong.
Poor sod did not choose wisely...
Arkancide by proxy?
