That's very sad. I can't imagine how low a person must be feeling to reach that point

I remember that one. Was about 1/2 a block away when it happened. A few months before that someone jumped off the Fairmont onto Columbus - he was a successful ad exec.

That's really sad that successful people panic due to a job loss and commit suicide. If I had to commit suicide I'd make it quick and painless with a cyanide pill. But I don't beleive in and will never commit suicide because God will punish you to eternal Hell and torture for suicide.

I agree and it is a good philosophical debate. Unfortunately when people are depressed enough to jump, they are not rational enough to think through to any conclusion except death.

I had several friends who were suicical; nome lived.

Bad joke. If it's not a joke, then I'm sorry.
