Columbia police are investigating the deaths of a young couple found naked on a city street after apparently falling four stories from a rooftop.
Columbia Police Sergeant Florence McCants says the man and woman were in their early 20s.
Shortly after 5am Wednesday, authorities say a taxi driver found the two nude bodies on Laurel Street between Gadsden and Assembly streets in downtown Columbia.
Police Chief Dean Crisp said it appears the people fell from a building. The two were alive when found but were pronounced dead after being taken to Palmetto Health Richland Hospital.
McCants says the preliminary investigation appears to show the couple died accidentally. She says there were no indications of foul play.
Clothing was discovered on the roof, about 50 feet above the street. And that leads authorities to suspect the man and woman may have been having sex.
The incident happened near the Old Chamber of Commerce building in downtown Columbia near Finlay Park.
The names of the victims have not been released.

I was going to say "xDDDDDDDDDDDD", but it'd be rather tasteless, seeing as they died and all.
Why couldn't this have happened when I was THERE!
I all seriousness though, that's pretty sad!

As weird as the accident was, it's still heart breaking.
I think they were having sex on the roof because they couldn't find an isolated place for sex without the risk of getting caught by someone.
Ironic, isn't it?

Is will-writing a standard in foreplay these days?

Yeah. :(
I suppose the sex must've been out of this world then...
I will have to try this roof sex, now aware of this new caveat: do not fall off the building.
Suicidal love indeed -.-'
