The 'suicidal pedestrians' in Vice City Stories are actually victims of broken geometry

The famous 'suicidal pedestrians' across VCS — from mall roof jumpers to beach corpses to rooftop deaths — are all debunked as spawn and level geometry glitches. The most notorious case is a Downtown building where pedestrians spawn inside overlapping geometry and get instantly crushed by the physics engine. A paranormal 'Zone of Silence' theory about beach deaths is also debunked.
