How Remarkable

While at work a few months ago, a young man decided to kill himself by jumping from a tower only a short distance from my office building. It would have been easy to witness for anyone with an office on the west side of the building and, even after it was known to have occurred, you could still clearly see the dead body lying at the base of the monument. And perhaps that proximity was the only thing that made this event more captivativing than any other of the many tragedies that occur on a daily basis.

At least, that was until this information came out about the suicide. In response to a piece in the Kansas City Star that discussed the circumstances surrounding this man's suicide, a reader and relative of the deceased wrote in to tell a truly remarkable story. Check it out.
