NOW I REALLY WANT TO KILL MYSELF

A 47-year-old German man who tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train is now being forced to pay several thousand dollars for the damage he caused during his little escapade. According to court testimony, the man tried to jump under the train but leapt too late and crashed through the side window of the driver’s cabin, suffering only minor wounds. “Although the man was not guilty of a crime, there is a rule in the civil code which means that for reasons of equity, he had to pay for part of the damage,” ruled the court, ordering him to pay half of the $5,325 damages.
