I don't know how or why, but a boy fell out the fourth floor window of the dorm across from mine. The ambulances have left, and the only thing I could see was them tying him to a stretcher. Please, please pray for him and all of us around him.
I'll update when I have more information.

Crumb. Someone jumped off the building that I worked in a decade or so ago; I know it shook me up a lot.
I'll send my prayers his way, for what it's worth; I hope you're doing all right, too.

That's all the information anyone has given. There are rumors flying around, of course, but they're all "a friend of a friend of a friend who heard from a cop who heard from a guy that lived the floor below" kind of things, so I won't post them here from respect.
I'm doing all right. Please keep praying for him and his family.

Just received this in email from the Dean of Students.

I am very sorry to inform you that Eric [name deleted for privacy], a sophomore in the Russ College of Engineering, passed away at Grant Medical Center in Columbus early this afternoon. This is a very sad day for the Ohio University community and our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
