"What are you going to do, lob a stone at me from 300m away?" shouted the man on the parapet, moments before impact.
But have they identified the trebuchet that killed him?
We can rule out Warwolf [1] my favorite trebuchet, which never killed anyone.
Interesting find! I wonder if the massive damage could also be explained by the falling wall (documented in the article).
Indeed, I am sure there are other mechanisms that could cause similar trauma.

Hope he died quickly, instead of having to deal with the pain of multiple bones crushing
Instant unconsciousness. Hopefully he didn't wake up.
dude got absolutely rocked
What do you expect - it came in like a wrecking ball
Didn’t feel it though, cuz he was stoned.
I hate this meme. Someone says "think about what you are doing prideful fool". And the other person still decides to use lethal force. That is diabolical, not funny.
Diabolically funny, you mean.
> Someone says "think about what you are doing prideful fool".
That strikes me as a wildly incorrect interpretation of the situation in the meme.
My reading is closer to a man on a parapet shouting "neener neener you can't touch me" moments before being touched by a rock at high velocity
Yup, my favorite is the ‘what are you going to do, stab me? -stabbed man’ quote from the news interview hah.
