Los Angeles police say a man was killed when he fell out of a tree and impaled himself on the spikes of a metal fence after a night of heavy drinking.
The victim appears to have fallen about 20 feet from a tree branch onto the fence. The incident was reported in East Hollywood.
The coroner's office identified the victim as 30-year-old Edwin Ochoa.
More than a dozen empty beer cans were found around the tree. Local residents tell police the man was known as a heavy drinker.

If I fell from a tree and got impaled on a fence,
I’d want a dozen cans of beer too.

Family will probably sue the homeowner who installed such a dangerous fence.

It isn’t drinking a quart of vodka and shooting a corn off your foot with a 12 gauge, but it’s close.

It’s wise to get out of your tree when you start the 2nd 6 pack.
