Man in women's undies jumps to death

A man parading in women's underwear and a Santa hat jumped to his death in central Melbourne after police used capsicum spray on him.

The man, in his 40s, had been harassing neighbours and acting oddly this afternoon at a block of flats in Nicholson Street, Carlton, witnesses told Victoria Police.

What an awkward, awkward funeral that will be. Still, how very festive. 'Tis the season and all that.
