<p>I thought the observation deck was enclosed and prevented this from ever happening again?? soooo sad; and again, Yale is hit…</p>
<p>How horrible. I wonder what makes a person jump to his death rather than less violent means (medications that just make you drift off peacefully). I realize that either way you are dead, but I can’t imagine jumping from such a tall building and going through that horrible experience before the end.</p>
<p>I hope he is at peace now, and I really feel so bad for the family.</p>
<p>How tragic, and what an unbearable loss for his family and friends.
Yale has excellent counseling, but kids have to seek it. Of course, when you’re mentally ill, it may just seem hopeless.
So very, very sad. Sometimes the signs of severe depression are only obvious after the fact.</p>
<p>This is so sad. I feel for the family and for his friends. Depression can be a fatal illness and nothing can force someone to seek the counseling and medication they need.
May they all find peace.</p>
