I wonder if he was found to be double hung.

I bet he felt silly, getting into a jamb like that, just sashaying over, casing the joint. Others would rail at him, but they had no stile.

I'm guessing either:

A. Alcohol

-or-

B. Fatness

was involved.

I guess that wasn't a window of opportunity.
I'm sure his family was shattered.

Why do you say that? Many reporters writing a story on a tragic death will interview the victim's family/neighbours/friends

Clearly a failure in defenestration.

I love seeing my local news on Fark but not this particular one. Poor man. I wonder if it was a heart attack?

By the way, it's "Wracked", not "Racked".

OED says no, "racked" is fine. It basically just means suffering / tormented.

Asphyxiation. The window constricted his breathing.

Local article has more info.Link (new window)

If only the window frame had been painted brown.

No racked is not fine, unless your dictionary editor is hooked on phonics like everyone else in the US. You cats won't be satisfied till every bloody nuance is sucked out of the discussion and dolts need grunt no more than five or six sounds to get their indulgences rubbed. What coarse minds.

Oxford English Dictionary:

racked, adj.2

1. That has been racked (in various senses); esp. tortured on the rack; tormented; strained to or beyond the limit.

/ If you want to save a word from extinction, join me in my personal crusade to stop people saying "jealous" when they mean "envious"

That makes me Jealous.

You don't have to be jealous. I'll let you join the crusade too.

If the sash fell and slammed against him, trapping him...the window balance failed. This is a common problem in many old windows and is a safety hazard.

They might want to check every window in that building for similar defects.
