There are a few staples to winning a woman’s heart. Flowers are nice, an original, but not crappy, poem even better. But to guarantee that one’s love will most certainly be requited, you’ll wanna fall to your death doing something stupid. A young man in Seoul, Korea, known only to the world as “Lee,” has entered that magic realm of true romantics.

According to Lee’s now single girlfriend, she and the 20-year-old had had a spat the previous day. She was giving him the silent treatment when he phoned her and told her to go look out her window.

Police believe it was Lee’s intention to use a TV cable to rappel from the roof of his love’s building down to her fourth-floor window. Whether or not she ever saw him is unknown. Down below in the parking lot, however, an attendant went to investigate a gelatinous thud. What he found was Lee, bleeding out of his various orifices. Lee died of his injuries about six hours later.
