A man died of an apparent suicide Saturday afternoon after jumping off a 25th-floor balcony of the Embassy Suites Hotel in Center City, Philadelphia police officials said Monday. Police declined to identify the individual but said he was a 37-year-old white male. He did not leave a note and was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:23 p.m., just 12 minutes after the incident was first reported, police said. Management at the hotel at 1776 Benjamin Franklin Parkway did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. Vertical video appropriate this time.  *Warning graphic* http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4f9_1430843012 |

That's probably the real reason for fire hose connections at the base of every tall building.

That sound isn't what I expected, but in thinking about it, I'm not sure why I expected anything different.
I blame Hollywood. First that lame ass silencer sound, and now this.

8.5 for his form in the air.
9.8 for the impact sound. 1.5 for the police cordon not allowing the camera to see brains and guts ejecting from corpse. |

Wonder if he had second thoughts? I remember seeing an interview with someone who attempted suicide by jumping off of a bridge. (Golden Gate, perhaps.) They said that as they stepped off into empty space, the first thought that went through their head was, "OMG, I don't want to die." Must suck dying with the thought that you've just made a terrible mistake running through your head. |

It's the drama queens who think they want out and wish they hadn't hurt themselves (if they live). Take Brad Delp. Was a tortured soul who could find no peace. Left a note on the door for first responders about the dangers of the CO in the house. Sat in the bathroom with a hibachi until he was dead. Very sad for folks like that. |

At least he landed pretty outstretched, when they land feet or head first they tend to end up in some pretty crumpled up positions. You expect heads to pop open, and they do sometimes or just get really mushy, but other parts like thighs will also split. It's also interesting when they jump from a high floor and land on a rooftop that has pipes sticking out of it, kinda like someone took a biscuit cutter to 'em and took a plug out.

Hoover dam bridge jumper. This guy was apparently saved.
  Captured literally moments before she plunged to her death below, a passing tourist caught this final photo of Heather Price Papayoti and her taxi by accident and turned it in to police. *This photo is really sad. This guy was committed. You can see walk by at 0.04 in the video then walks a little way then jumps. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f4c_1338859188 |
