“Not the way you want your 18th birthday to end. Being the dad I left the kids after we blew out birthday cake to let them go into town and be 18yo’s. 30min later as @jazzyparr_ & @rockyogden group were in town waiting to go clubbing when they heard a loud noise as if someone had been hit by a car. Unfortunately a gentleman had fallen from the 40th floor hitting the ground only a few feet from where they were standing.” John Wayne Parr wrote on Instagram. “In fact they were only just standing where the man landed only 60seconds before. Such a devastating thing for the family of the man and the kid’s witnessing this poor mans death. A reminder that life is so precious and we must take care of one another 😢🙏🏻.”

John Wayne Parr would later update the post to share the following information regarding the tragic event.

“Update: Found out the guy was standing on a chair cleaning spider webs off ceiling. Slipped falling over balcony falling 40 stories 😢.”

John Wayne Parr has not competed professionally since suffering a split decision loss to Danilo Zanolini at RIZIN 18 in August of 2019.

Meanwhile, Rocky Ogden last competed on November 20 under the ONE banner. That evening he suffered a split decision loss to Jospeh Lasiri.
