Saudi Prince Bandar bin Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud passed away on Monday, March 12, the Royal Court announced in a statement.

His funeral prayers will be performed at the Grand Mosque in Makkah following Asr (afternoon) regular prayer on Tuesday, March 13, the official Saudi News Agency (SPA) reported.

UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan has sent a cable of condolences to Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on Prince Bandar bin Khalid’s death, official news agency WAM reported.

Similar cables were also dispatched by the UAE’s Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.

Video is reportedly of a different person, different country. Has nothing to do with a Saudi Prince in London.

If it was from the fourth floor, I'd suspect Marcellus Wallace.

Well that's what he gets for giving Mrs. Wallace a foot massage.

So, then, DID the Saudi Prince commit suicide? Or is that all wrong, too?

Btw,personally I questioned that video from the moment I saw it. Really did not look like a Saudi Prince to me.

I’m not really a fan, but I love working cultural references into my posts to see who will bite. :-)

“That was Prince Bandar bin Sultan, not this guy. Apparently they have a bunch o’ Bandars.”

Are Bandars falling from the sky?!!!?

The prince definitely seems to have died, at least judging from a good number of online reports from Arab world publications, such as:

http://gulftoday.ae/portal/326349c6-e994-44c3-b7b7-da29fa3a83fd.aspx

However, the video posted on LiveLeak definitely seems to be a hoax (well a real video but unrelated to the prince). I have not seen anything that appears to be reliable which says either that the prince committed suicide or that he had been ordered to leave the UK and return to Saudi Arabia.

So his death seems pretty sure but I don’t trust any of the details yet.

fyi, LiveLeak video appears to be b.s. The prince really died (it appears), but not in that video. Also, I’m not finding any solid indications that he was ordered to leave the UK or that he committed suicide. So it appears that some people online are using his death to push an agenda which may or may not be accurate.

I don’t joke about dives. Especially that one. It almost killed me.

I suspect that with the Saudis when they are angry, just as with Marcellus Wallace, defenestration is a best case scenario. You do not want them to go medieval on you.

Cry me a river. I remember 9/11, when our countrymen and countrywomen weren't given a choice.

Actually, I found that sort of funny to watch.

I don’t think he was trying to commit suicide. He was simply trying to get away from the security that was ordering him out.

He completely miscalculated his weight and his ability to properly jump.

It seemed like his legs his the first outcropping.

Suicide or total parkour failure?

Wrong Bandar. You are talking about bin Sultan. This one is far younger.

Cheers

I saw that video and thought “That doesn’t look like a 69 year old guy doing that...”

That didn’t look like a ‘suicide’ to me. It looked like he was trying to get away from someone he was yelling at and misjudged his landing on teh planter and then fell on his head, probably breaking his neck..................

Thank you. They are all in the same boat, so to speak. 2018 should see more “headers.”
