Most ironic signs of all time

Yale student commits suicide by jumping from empire state building

A Yale University junior left a suicide note in his dorm room before heading to New York, where he plunged to his death by jumping from the Empire State Building.

Cameron Dabaghi, 21, from Austin, Texas, jumped from the 86th floor observation deck on Tuesday March 30th, during evening rush hour. His note said he was sorry and he would be jumping from either the George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River in upper Manhattan, or the Empire State building.

There were seven other people on the observation deck at the same time, and one person tried to talk to the jumper as he climbed over the barrier, but was unsuccessful.

Dabaghi was dead when rescue workers arrived at the 102-story skyscraper shortly before 6:30 p.m. He was a student in Berkeley College, majoring in East Asian studies.

The Empire State Building is the third-tallest building in the United States. More than 30 people have committed suicide at the building since it opened in 1931. The most recent one occurred in January 2009, when a 54-year-old woman died after jumping from the 39th floor and landing on the 25th floor.
