According to Denver Medical examiner, 19 year old exchange student from Republic of Congo, Levi Thamba Pongi (pictured above) jumped to his death after eating a marijuana cookie that his friend legally purchased in one of Colorado's recreational pot shops, marking the very first time since recreational marijuana was legalized in their state that eating pot was listed as a “contributing factor” is someone's death.
His friends told investigators that Pongi ate the cookie and "exhibited hostile behavior" that included pulling things off walls and speaking erratically. Attempts by the three friends to calm Pongi did actually work until he went outside and jumped off the balcony railing, based on the report.
The late teen have been visiting Colorado with friends while on Spring Break in March. Investigators think that Levi and his companions made the visit to Colorado specifically to sample the state's legally available marijuana, including pot cookies.
