Los Angeles police say a man was killed when he fell out of a tree and impaled himself on the spikes of a metal fence after a night of heavy drinking.

The victim appears to have fallen about 20 feet from a tree branch onto the fence. The incident was reported in East Hollywood.

The coroner's office identified the victim as 30-year-old Edwin Ochoa.

More than a dozen empty beer cans were found around the tree. Local residents tell police the man was known as a heavy drinker.

Obviously, drinking is too dangerous for humans to do on their own, so drinking should be automated.

I have a Niece who is nearing 50. She started a tree climbing club. She is a dance instructor and is in great shape but I really hope she quits that idea.

It is really dangerous.

Ah the gravity of the situation. I recall something similar happened a few years back, same result, death.

Some jokes write themselves. Then a reporter goes and copyrights the whole dang thing.

You know how this guy ended up falling out of the tree, right? His best friend waved to him.
