A man called 911 after discovering his friend, whose face and back he had spray painted blue as a joke, would not wake up. The painted friend was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two 19-year-olds, who were friends and worked together at a bar on Bleecker Street, had been drinking all night. When one passed out, the other spray painted him before falling sleep himself.
According to the NY Times, the victim's body was found at the bottom of the stairs (the other man lived in a basement apartment) and investigators aren't sure "whether a fall, excessive drinking or the paint had caused or contributed to his death." A source told the Daily News, "He's laying there in his boxers all spray-painted blue."
The friend has not been charged with any crime, but a medical examiner will be conducting an autopsy. There is an urban legend that the actress painted gold in Goldfinger died (she didn't).

Who hires 19 year olds to work in a bar?
Very sad.
With friends like that who needs enemies?
An enterprising lawyer would file a civil suit against the bar who served these underage bozos drinks.
yah who hires 19 year olds except tgi fridays? these guys must have had a smurf fetish or something...tards
Now I can say for certain that the tally of death this year is infinitely more entertaining than last year's.
Duke fans?
This would make a great Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode.

What about SVU?
"What about SVU?"
I thought SVU was only about child victims/criminals or rape victims. Am I wrong?

So will the undertaker have to dip him in paint stripper or will they just cover him with extra make-up?
Excellent nominee for a Darwin Award, but really his friend should get the award. The poor guy didn't do anything but pass out drunk, which we've all done.
I know someone who works at Sherwin-Williams (makers of fine spray enamel such as the Krylon pictured above) and this is a mini pr disaster for them. Just having one of your companies signature products appear in multiple headlines associated with death-by-stupidity is a blow. They've kept a lid on how toxic spray paint is for a while. Every old school graf person I know either died of/or suffers from some strange ailments, especially kidney issues.
he just blue himself!!!
did anyone else think arrested development when they saw this? kudos to you, zodak.
any additional details? first the latino dude busts up two parade goers and then this. witnesses said words were exchanged, again, beer guts claims another victim.
happy st. paddy's everyone.
