Student busy texting tumbles 50ft to his death

Link: Texting Student Falls 50ft To Death – The Daily Record

”It seems Iain got home some time after 3am when he went on to the balcony to text a friend.
”He must have tried to jump up on to the ledge of the balcony when he fell backwards. His phone was found on the balcony. We have been told he died instantly after hitting the ground.”

If the suppositions are correct, it appears the student was preoccupied with texting, lost his balance and fell. Dear me.
