From the Calgary Sun, Monday 23, 2004 page 20:
A Carleton University engineering student who was participating in a spitting contest with friends plunged 11 floors off a downtown high rise to his death late Saturday night.
Ameer "AJ" Jinah was celebrating his 20th birthday in his 11th floor apartment at 199 Kent St. with about a dozen friends when the accident happened at about 11 p.m.
Police said it appears Jinah took a running start to try to spit further than his two friends when he unintentionally vaulted himself over the balcony railing.
"It was purely accidental" said Ottawa police Sgt. Joe Simpson.
"Momentum carried him beyond."
Police said alcohol was being consumed at the party.
