Lord of Fire
A family man, a respected patriot, an ambassador, calmly walks away from a group of colleagues in a parking garage and jumps 33 feet to his death. No motive, no sign of depression etc. There has to be more to the story than this.

That is sad. Such a waste.
 
I don't mean to sound ... weird... about this, but 28-33 feet seems like a risky way to end it. He could have easily survived that.

One of the commenters posted that most industrial falls that lead to death occur at around the 8 meter (~26') mark.

That's kind of surprising.
 
I fell getting off the toilet once and broke three toes!! Haven't fallen asleep on a toilet since!! I woke up before my foot did and was not aware of this discrepency!
