[release]SPRING TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Police said a man was killed while attempting to pick up mail in front of his Spring Township home Friday evening.
According to authorities, 63-year-old Randal Grubb leaned out of his SUV to pick up mail he dropped it onto the road.
Investigators say he then fell out of the vehicle, which dragged him down the street and pinned the man against a concrete wall.
Grubb’s wife was in the passenger seat and unable to stop the vehicle from rolling forward.
Despite efforts from police and a special rescue operations team, Grubb died at the scene.
The coroner ruled Grubb’s death as accidental due to positional asphyxia.

Wait, he opened the door and tried to pick up the mail from the road WHILE DRIVING??
He deserved to die.
I almost feel bad for him.

I think that's a bit harsh. I feel sorry for the wife, not being able to do anything.
That's one of the stupidest thing a man could do, I think he should be nominated for the Darwin Awards.
They see me rollin'
That's a very smart and intelligent choice! :downs:
Darwin Award Honorable Mention. :colbert:

He totally did NOT deserve to die.
Sure it was a dumb action and all, but he wasn't a murderer or something.

Agreed. Natural selection at its best.
His wife is a fucking idiot. Why didn't she just pull the handbrake up and turn the car off? How can you NOT stop a car from rolling forward...
Sounds like she was too busy screaming rather than being rational and saving her husbands life.

Seeing as he killed himself in a stupid manner, I think DA rules state that he's eligible for a full Darwin.
"Grubb’s wife was in the passenger seat and unable to stop the vehicle from rolling forward."
Hasn't she ever heard of an emergency brake?:colbert:
He fell out, his wife gunned the accelerator. he was murdered CONSPIRACY.

He was fucking 60, there's nothing to weed out.
You have to be a genius to do something this stupid.
We've all played GTA. We all know it's possible ;)
I wonder if he will get in the Darwin awards for this.

You can still make babies at 60.
I'll let you know if they accept the submission, which means it must get votes from people to qualify for the title of Darwin award winner.
So link us, so we can vote?

Oh nvm, it must first get accepted.

So? It's not like he would anyway
I used to do this while picking up golf balls when I worked at the golf course cleaning up the driving-range.
Although I was going 10 miles an hour in a golf cart.
And I didn't end up dead against a wall.

His stupidity warranted his death.
So his wife couldn't just pull the handbrake? Well SHE was useless.

She couldn't reach the handbrake from the kitchen.
It's official, being stupid is hazardous to your life.
