He should have jumped over the ocean - where he could have been appreciated by some hungry sharks.

Not a bad way to go....Except the patio thing. The poor patio owner will forever be looking up while cooking on the grille.

Suicide is such a selfish act.

May God Forgive and Bless him, and embrace the whole family.

Hmm. I'm trying to think of something witty to say, but my mind's a blank.

This was really a selfish thing to do. If he didn't care for his own life, how about not making a mess for your survivors and innocent bystanders to clean up?

I agree, he should have bailed over the ocean.

Does suicide void your life insurance?
Just wondering.

Note to Frost: suicide is not "going out in a flash of glory." You blew it.

Don't these idiots ever think of the people that unwittingly help them in their quest for death!

Jumping from a plane while the pilot is desperately trying to keep you in your seat jeopardizes the pilot's life too.

Same for jumping in front a train. It's an awful thing to do to the engineer.

Nothing to see here move along its bushs fault

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's grandpa!

I knew when Dr. Kevorkian started taking flying lessons, it would lead to no good.

"The impact severed his body and knocked out power for several hours to the area's 4,000 residents and businesses."

"A tenant at the complex, Dennis Reaves, 34, said his 8-year-old son came running indoors to tell him a man had fallen from a plane."

From another article.

While I completely understand suicide in the case of a fatal, incurable illness, this guy's a complete jerk. If he wanted to off himself, he could have done it quietly and simply.

Instead, he throws himself out of a plane in a populated area, risking those on the ground in his search for a spectacular ending to his life.

It's very sad, but I'm very angry at this man right now.

My advice: if you're going to commit suicide, do it cleanly and neatly. Don't leave a mess to complicate the lives of others and don't risk anyone else's life in your selfishness.

Feh!

"Frost, a retired land developer..."

(Q) What do you one call a land developer who commits suicide?

(A) A good start.

Yes, I'm sick of developers. Fly over the island where I live and it looks like it's been given a bad haircut.

Carlsbad huh? He should just have bought a toy gun, turned on every light and appliance in his house and waited for the narcs to bust down the door.
