In perhaps the most strange and sad story you will read today, a man fell 33 feet from a roof after chasing a monkey that had taken his favorite Pittsburgh Steelers hat. The man, Jeff "Swede" Swedenhjelm, took the fall on Monday.
Swedenhjelm is from Florida and now lives in Bali. Villagers who saw Swedenhjelm took him to a nearby hospital. He was diagnosed with severe damage to his spinal cord and, at the moment, is paralyzed from the chest down.
"Swede" is known by others as the life of the party, according to the Northwest Florida Daily News. His family is currently trying to raise money to get him to Singapore, where the medical care is superior.
"Our utmost concern is to get Swede out of Bali and into a country with a spinal specialist," said his daughter, Lyric Swedenhjelm.
