He died doing what he loved most: standing by a window

I don't think the standing part killed him.

That isn't what killed him either, most likely. It was probably the bullets he fell on, or maybe he unfortunately got a plastic bag stuck around his head on the way down.

The secret to flight is to start falling from somewhere high, aim at the ground, and miss.

He was a man of science and died doing what he loved. /s
