Title: Man Dies After Trying to Slide Down Escalator Rail in L.A. Mall

Heavy drinking may have lead to a man's death at a shopping mall in Hollywood last night.

Authorities say the man was trying to slide down the banister of an escalator when he lost his balance and plunged several stories onto another escalator below.

He was declared dead at a hospital from a head injury.

Police quote his friends as saying the man "had been drinking quite a bit."

Police haven't released his name.

The mall is in the same complex that holds the Kodak Theatre, where the Academy Awards are held.

Who would have thought drink would be involved?  :whatever:

Okay, so last week some guy committed suicide at one of the Mall of America's parking ramps, but I thought there was something about some kid messing around on one of the escalators and falling.

the mall of america is apparently not the place for the unlucky to hang out.  there was literally a train wreck there last month.
