Most of you probably know, but there is award called the Darwin award, and basically it is given to someone for "doing a service to humanity by removing (die) themselves from the gene pool". Well I think I may have found one that might not win, but should at least be in the discussion...
"A 19-year-old township man who died after falling off a moving SUV had jumped onto its hood after realizing the driver had sold him candy instead of a prescription drug, according to authorities. Martin, who was in a yellow 2002 Ford Escape, tried to pass off two pieces of blue candy wrapped in plastic as the drug when they met up around 3:20 p.m. on 23rd Avenue, according to Michael Mohel, Ocean County Prosecutor's Office deputy chief.
After paying Martin, Bartolomei and the girl quickly discovered that the pills were candy, Mohel said. Bartolomei reached into the driver's side window in an attempt to grab his money back, and the girl jumped on the car as Martin drove west on 23rd Avenue, Mohel said. Martin continued up 23rd Avenue with both people hanging on the car, he said. When Martin disobeyed a stop sign at Herbertsville Road, Bartolomei was thrown from the hood and was struck by a car traveling south on Herbertsville Road, Mohel said.
Martin continued across Herbertsville Road on 23rd Avenue with the girl hanging on, before the Escape hit a mailbox and Martin ran from the vehicle, he said. The girl suffered only minor injuries, Mohel said (App.com)."
