A suicide in downtown Houston

10 minutes ago, a co-worker of mine told me that a man jumped from the parking garage across from the Texaco - Chevron Heritage building here in downtown Houston. I went to the fourth floor and looked out the north window of my building and beheld the scene from a birds eye view. The police have about half the block taped off with yellow tape. Several officers were standing around the body, with some onlookers gathering. I don't have my digital camera with me.

Some contractors who work on our elevators witnessed the guy jump. One wonders what made the man give up all hope on living and go over the edge.

Sigh...
