Officer Tumbles from Fast Moving Car After He Pulls a Bizarre Stunt

[Champ]

PHOENIX (Reuters) - A top municipal official in Phoenix died in a bizarre incident that saw him crawl out of his fast-moving vehicle, stand atop its roof and extend his arms outward before tumbling off, authorities said on Thursday.

Kevin Keogh, a 28-year city employee who started as a management intern and became its top finance manager, died at the scene after he plunged from the vehicle and struck the pavement and a tree Wednesday afternoon in nearby Scottsdale, Arizona, police said. He was 55.

It was not immediately clear whether Keogh jumped or accidentally fell from the vehicle, which was traveling at about 50 miles per hour, police said.

"This is something you see in the movies, but this is not the movies," said Sgt. Doug Dirren, a Scottsdale police spokesman. "The whole thing is, quite frankly, very bizarre."

Police officers were called to the area by a motorist reporting that his Dodge Neon was rear-ended by a black Mercedes-Benz at a stop light, and that there was no driver inside. Officers found Keogh's body about two blocks away, and witnesses said they saw him standing on his car.

parasite in Mexico, and that it had given him brain damage. Weird.
