NY boy, 9, made plastic parachute, took death dive
NEW YORK (AP) — A friend says a 9-year-old New York City boy might have been imitating a video game character when he apparently made a plastic parachute and jumped to his death from his apartment building’s roof.
Police say Domori Miles likely cobbled a plastic bag and rope together before flying off the 13-story Brooklyn building Tuesday. The items were found on the ground near his body.
Ten-year-old friend Shakar Murrel says Domori was a fan of the wrestling game “WWE SmackDown vs. Raw” and loved wrestler Jeff Hardy’s swan dives.
Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment expresses sympathy but calls for “a full investigation … before conclusions are made.” It says no “SmackDown vs. Raw” characters jump off buildings or use parachutes.
Domori’s mother tells police she had gone to the store.
