Early on the 18th of July 1965, after they both had been drinking, Bing said "Watch me do a trick" and then stepped out of the window. He clung for two minutes to the ledge by his fingertips, attempting to pull himself back in, but instead fell eight stories to his death, while passersby screamed and stared. His death was listed as accidental. His body was shipped back to Grand Island and was buried at Hastings. Bing was the son of James A. Davidson and his wife Elaine Moriarty of Grand Island, Nebraska. Some online sources, without citation, state that Jim is buried next to Paul in Ohio, but so-far I've not found a primary source for that. If he is, then his bodied must have been moved sometime later. | Early on the 18th of July 1965, after they both had been drinking, Bing said "Watch me do a trick" and then stepped out of the window.
