BRUSSELS – The lead singer of a British pop trio climbed a telecommunications mast behind the main stage at a Belgian rock festival and leaped to his death in the parking lot below, police said Saturday.
Twenty-two-year-old Charles Haddon of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool died late Friday during the Pukkelpop festival in Hasselt, a town in eastern Belgium. District attorney Marc Rubens said police were treating the death as a suicide.

What a strange name for a band “Where Is The Swimming Pool”. Apparently he thought it was in the parking lot below where he jumped.

“Pukkelpop” sounds like a BeerFest event.

Horrifying. Suicide is awful for survivors. Witnessing a traumatic/unexpected death is awful for people. Witnessing a suicide is just horrifying. Expect a lot of therapy needed for witnesses.
