Melbourne
(ANI):
Pop
singer
Charles
Haddon
committed
suicide
fearing
that
he
had
crippled
a
fan
during
a
stage-dive,
it
has
emerged.
Haddon,
lead
singer
of
British
band
chand
chupa
badal
mein,ou
est
le
swimming
pool,
jumped
off
a
satellite
mast
after
a
performance
at
the
Pukkelpop
festival
in
Belgium.
A
young
girl
was
seriously
injured
after
the
singer
suddenly
dived
into
the
audience
during
the
band"s
performance.
Haddon,
22,
reportedly
feared
he
may
have
crippled
the
girl
for
life
and
was
heard
saying:
"I
hope
she
pulls
through.
I
hope
she
will
be
able
to
walk."
Investigators
are
now
reviewing
video
of
Haddon
emerging
from
backstage
after
the
gig
following
the
incident
they
say
sparked
a
'near
riot'.
Witness
Jens
Borms
said
the
stage-dive
caught
people
off-guard.
"As
people
were
completely
surprised
by
this,
they
jumped
away
instead
of
catching
him.
Apparently
one
girl
couldn't
get
away
and
was
severely
injured
in
the
back," News.com.au
quoted
Borms
as
saying.
Another
eyewitness
said:
"I'm
sure
he
didn't
mean
to
hurt
anyone.
The
look
in
his
eyes
when
he
stood
up
and
they
pulled
the
girl
from
the
ground
was
very
scary." According
to
Belgian
newspaper
De
Standaard,
Haddon
then
had
a
"furious
argument"
with
his
fellow
band
members.
Hours
later,
his
body
was
found
in
the
carpark
below
the
mast.
The
injured
girl
is
in
hospital
with
serious
injuries
to
one
leg
and
four
vertebrae
but
is
expected
to
make
a
full
recovery.
