My cousin had someone in her apartment complex jump/die from the 15th floor, when she lived in Toronto.nShe saw a therapist for a bit afterwards because they were directly below them when they jumped. She didn’t know them, but heard them hit the dumpster and then concrete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
