Men Competing In Parking Lot

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. -- A 48-year-old man died dancing in a parking lot, trying to outdo a rival with an acrobatic move while "battle dancing," police said.

The man and his rival were competing in a parking lot on Main Street Monday night when he tried a forward flip and landed on his head.

Police said the New Britain resident went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead a short time later at a local hospital.
Police said several people were in the parking lot drinking and battle dancing -- a competition in which each dancer tries to top other dancers with unique dance moves.

Police had not released the victim's name as of Tuesday morning.

If you're 48 years old and drinking in a parking lot, you can't expect anything positive to come from it.

Sometimes stupidity just cleans itself up on it's own.
