ask someone for a law book and they go jump off a building...

[brightrosefox]

So, earlier in the week at work, one of the attourneys requested a law book, so Ray and I called this guy at another firm so we could borrow it. That was on Tuesday. Didn't hear from the guy at all. Today, our filer told us that on Tuesday, the guy commited suicide by jumping off the roof of his office building. He'd been very depressed, apparently. All we did was ask him for a book. Wow. That's kind of freaky. Next time, we'll have to be really nice to other law librarians we request material from.

Is this the guy passed dead in the alley near his office a few days back? () (http://www.livejournal.com/users/theomachio/)

Could very well likely be. I'll have to ask around. It was pretty random and shocking, from what I understand, but I don't remember hearing anything about an alley.
