Not sure what the story is but from the ABCMelbourne's twitter...

Ambulances called to Molly Meldrum's house tonight. A man in a coma after falling of a ladder. Identity of victim still in doubt.

I thought the hat may have broken his fall.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Yup, confirmed. He's in Royal Alfred in a critical condition after being found by his gardener this evening unconscious. Induced coma apparently.

 

[HarryTiger]

He's one of the good ones Molly, really hope he comes out OK.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Falling off a ladder & being placed in an induced coma would generally signify some serious injuries to the head or brain.

Not good. Hopefully he comes through it. Bit of a tool on occasion but his heart's in the right place.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Yeah he's one of the good guys definitely. Perhaps it was a precaution to put him in an induced coma considering they don't know exactly what happened.

With Molly being a St Kilda fan climbing a ladder is obviously not his forte either.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Poor Mol, hope he pulls through, I was gonna climb a ladder this arvo and thought better of it thinking I might fall off, then I hear this, real weird man

Phwoar.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

I hope he is Ok

 

[Flawed Genius]

Critical condition, induced coma, no comment from family

 

[HarryTiger]

He's gone into surgery, a good sign really.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Depends but let's hope so

 

[HarryTiger]

Depends but let's hope so

Well sometimes in the situations they're only decision is whether to pull the plug or not.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

I hope your right...

 

[Smoooothy]

great sign this morning, been listed as Stable now

 

[BigKahunaBlue]

Not good at all.

Mates old man fell in the exact same way was in the exact same condition and never woke up.

Good luck Molly.

 

[J_Moore]

I hope Molly pulls through so he can egregiously name drop all the famous people that wished him well.

 

[royboy2]

Molly will be upset, All those doctors inside him and he's not awake to enjoy it

[powerful girl]

Geez can't imagine a world minus Molly - really hope he's back to his old self soon

 

[Eastdog]

I hope he is alright and pulls through.

 

[grizzlym]

Best of luck to Molly. I've crossed paths with him a few times over the years, including onetime, many years ago, my then girlfriend who knew Molly well told him, 'he's mine don't even think it you old pervy dero'. Her words, not mine.

Kind of odd to think about that notion of destiny, that our lives are in someway pre-written culminating in exactly how we die. Pretty freaky to think that each of us - in that line of thinking - has a way of dying chalked against our name.

You can always go to the palmleaf library in India and find out.

Falling off a ladder is a pretty awesome way to go imo.

Beats staring down cancer for 5 years before it makes a mockery of you and you die shitting yourself because euthanasia is illegal.

Go out fast and without seeing it coming. Preferably in a sitcom style accident, imo.

Yeah, it has its appeal no doubt.

Speaking of weird ways to die, ever hear about the Boston Molasses Disaster?

A huge molasses storage tank burst sending a treacle wave through the suburban streets killing 21 people.

Remember reading about it years ago.

Link here.

If he pulls through, this is a certainty IMO.
