Beacon baseball player killed in rooftop fall took LSD: cops
A Brooklyn teen who died in a mysterious fall last week had dropped acid shortly before he freaked out and took a running leap from atop a Queens residential building, police sources said.
John Fernando, 17, a senior on the baseball team at Beacon High School in Manhattan, took LSD with pals at an apartment on Ascan Ave. in Forest Hills on Friday afternoon, police sources said.

Beacon High School mourns after senior 2nd baseman John Fernando dies from fall in Forest Hills
Beacon High School is mourning the loss of senior second baseman John Fernando, who died at Jamaica Hospital on Friday night after falling six stories from a rooftop in Forest Hills, friends and FDNY officials said.
Fernando plummeted to his death during a birthday party at 1 Ascan Ave.
"He was the greatest kid ever, always good to be around," said Fernando's friend Justin Litovsky.
An autopsy performed Sunday showed that Fernando had sustained "blunt force trauma to his head and torso," the Medical Examiner's office said.
The Daily News couldn't immediately reach Fernando's parents.
Fernando, who lived in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn, was 17.
"We're all mourning right now," Beacon baseball coach Tom Covotsos said. "His parents don't want to talk right now. We're missing a very nice kid. Just a great kid."
The Blue Demons went through with their exhibition game with Susan Wagner on Staten Island Saturday, just hours after learning of Fernando's death.
Sunday, they met with a few hundred other students and faculty at the Manhattan school for an emotional memorial service. Fernando's family was not present.
Three lit candles were placed in front of the school's doors, one with the scribbled message, "We will all miss you, John. We love you forever."
"It's really overwhelming," said sophomore Dylan Long, who fought back tears alongside the rest of his Beacon teammates after the service. "We miss him so much."
Added junior teammate Orlando Adorno: "It was really hard (to play Saturday and have the memorial Sunday). We had him on our mind."
Covotsos said he thought it was important for Fernando's teammates to play on Saturday and therefore did not cancel the game.
"We played the game in honor of him," Covotsos said. "It was better that the kids express themselves. Emotionally, it was very difficult."
Fernando did not put up huge stats last year, but he led by example, his teammates said. When he'd talk, they'd listen.
Beacon players and students took to Facebook and Twitter to express their condolences and feelings toward their friend.
"J Fern I miss you so (freaking) much, boy," senior teammate Erik Poldroo posted on his Facebook page. "RIP homie. You'll be so proud of us when Beacon takes the chip this year. I promise you that."
Added junior teammate Kai Glick: "R.I.P. Jfern, you will always be missed. This season is for u #28."
Covotsos said the team will salute Fernando throughout the season via uniform patches donning perhaps his initials and/or number, and by hanging his No. 28 jersey on the fence for every game.
The Blue Demons will officially begin their 2011 campaign against the HS for Graphic Communication Arts on March 29.
"We want this to be our year," Long said, "for him."

I recently said the same thing in one of the many '2ce overdose' threads.
Its just these are the EXACT stories you hear myths about.
"Oh im high on lsd i think i can fly."
I have never been that high. I have smoked dmt while tripping on lsd and never did i feel like soaring out a window.

Not ONCE, in all the times have I taken LSD, have I ever thought I could possibly fly if I jumped off something high. I have never had the slightest desire to jump off something, and at the same time, I knew damn well that I couldn't fly if I did jump off something. I call bullshit on all the "I'm on LSD! I think I can fly" stories.

Yea who honestly said he thought he could fly?
You have honestly never felt like killing yourself during a challenging trip? I know I have and so have some of my friends.
There's also the whole "This life is an illusion, once I die I get to the other-side." situation as well.
Poor kid. Sorry for his family, friends and teammates.

I think about suicide every day, doesn't mean I'd do it. I was walking down the street a few months back and their was a down power line and people walking toward me. Since I am fucked in the head what went through my mind was "Hey look a power line.. hey look people are coming... What if I picked it up, smile at them, and bight into it electrocuting myself? They will never forget this day if I do this..."
Then I walk passed them giggling looking like a psychopath

Because you are one. Haha that's pretty weird my man.
I feel bad for the friends that that kid was tripping with. Imagine seeing your good friend hit the pavement dead with a head full of acid. That's fucked up...

Wtf is it with people in NY and taking hallucinogens and jumping off buildings? A friend of mine lives in NY and this kid who live a couple stories above him took some shrooms and jumped off the building and died a month or two ago. Regardless, RIP dude

maybe its because people always tell stories like "my dad's friends brother tooks lsd and thought he could fly" so that is what people believe... if that makes any sense
-------------------- everything i post is entirely fictional "and then one day you find 10 years have got behind you no one told you when to run...you missed the starting gun" "for long you live and high you fly, but only if you ride the tide, balanced on the biggest wave you race towards an early grave"

It doesn't say he thought he could fly, unless I read it wrong...
Kid probably had a rough time and killed himself, shame the LSD is getting the blame... That's the easiest excuse though....how convenient
