Another mystery from a TV detective show. PM answers, please.
Driving past on her way to work, Jessica is shocked to see a boy hanging by his fingertips from an open fifth-floor window of Amersham Secondary School’s central building.
Her shock turns to alarm as her peripheral vision shows the figure detach and begin its fall to the carpark below.
At that moment, a blare of horn from an oncoming juggernaut pulls her attention back to the road.
Bringing herself quickly about, Jessica arrives back at the school two minutes later, where the dead body of a teenage boy lies sprawled on the asphalt below the open window five stories above.
Curiously, the boy is seen to have sustained only head injuries.
There are no injuries to his feet or legs. Why?

Clue: There would be no mystery if an adult had fallen from the window.

Oh that's confused me even more Some outside-the-box thinking required for this one, Steve. I don't think I'd have worked it out. I was impressed (and a little disappointed) when Monte worked it out literally within a minute of first reading it. |

The Wall Safe mystery, which he managed in the same amount of time, was from 1972 (Banacek). Either he has incredible deductive powers or he has an incredible memory.  |

Clue: There would be no mystery if an adult had fallen from the window. Or a grand piano. |

Trying to imagine a grand piano holding onto a window ledge. Grand piano isn't a bad clue. Think grand piano and cartoon. |

For all the evidence it could be that a murderer killed a child and then through a dummy out the window. However considering a classic cartoon piano. May answer is PM'd |

May answer is PM'd The title is Mystery 10: The Falling Schoolboy. It's not titled Murder Mystery. There are no suspects, as such. The mystery is simply: how could the child have sustained head injuries only? |
