You di have a point, and I apologize, I didn't realize it was a wedding ring (I've never heard of weddings rings/bands being worn on the pinky before), though perhaps another artifact could be used? According to Wikipedia, he used a 25-foot stand (or ladder, I'm not sure which) and either fell or just didn't jump right, and fell incorrectly. (Oh hey, dead on Friday the 13th).
