A CARLETON University engineering student 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.
