Retiree tossed into air, dies when dropped

Article from: Reuters

From correspondents in Tokyo

December 16, 2008 11:51pm

A 60-YEAR-old man who was thrown into the air in celebration at his retirement party died after his colleagues failed to catch him and he fell to the floor.

The case came to light after the man's wife filed a police complaint against colleagues who threw the man up into the air, accusing them of gross negligence, the Mainichi paper reported on its website.

The man died in September, 10 months after the party attended by around 40 people at an unnamed transport company at an inn in Ritto, near the ancient capital of Kyoto in central Japan.

The fall damaged his neck and backbone, leaving him paralysed, and he eventually died of blood poisoning, the paper said.

"He worked until the retirement age. We had been looking forward to going to various places as a couple and were excited that we would be able to spend a relaxing time together," the paper quoted the man's wife as saying.

"No matter what I say he won't come back, but I want to find out why this happened."

What a shitty way to go man. I can only imagine what thoughts went through his mind after they dropped him.
