Translation of relevant parts:

Died after mass fight

Stavanger, Norway (VG): When the mass fight broke out, the 24-year old ran and jumped into the crowd with a karate-like kick, fell on his head and ended up unconcious.

Just now, the intensive care unit at Stavanger University Hospital informs that the 24 year old Burmese died today at 13:00 as a consequence of the serious head wounds obtained from the accident.

It was at 01:00 Sunday morning that four Norwegians and five Burmese ended up in a fight at the bus station in Sandnes. The dead 24-year old was not involved in the fighting to begin with, and he didn't know the men who were in the fight.

It sounds like this guy wanted to join the fight but didn't even get to that point since his karate jump/kick fell short. Sounds like a pretty decent case of stupidity to me! Thanks for sending this in.

Let's...no kith/kin involved, nothing personal in danger, he's not in danger, and he decides to be a macho showoff and pays the price. Thanks, Anon, good one!
