NEWARK, N.J. -- A man arriving from Portugal apparently committed suicide in a janitor's closet at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Authorities said the 39-year-old Maryland man was found by a cleaner Sunday afternoon. The man's name was being withheld while authorities tried to reach relatives.
The man apparently hanged himself between his walk from the plane and the customs checkpoint to re-enter the United States.
Authorities said the man, a U.S. citizen, was scheduled to make a connecting flight to Washington, D.C.
The Essex County Medical Examiner's Office planned to perform an autopsy.
He was pissed.....................
This is how The Terminal should have ended in the first five minutes of the film, thus sparing us the rest...
Another victim of the worst economy since Hoover. </sarc>
Figured he would be an expatriate "Pork Chopper" from Essex County. Maybe not.
I guess once he found out the price of a hot dog and Coke at airport prices, that was the last straw...
"A man arriving from Portugal apparently committed suicide in a janitor's closet at Newark Liberty International Airport. "
Landing in Newark will do that to ya...
I find this strange that someone would commit suicide while waiting for a flight that he had tickets for.
A despondent liberal returning to America with President Bush still at the helm?
Do you think he should have taken the flight and then offed himself in DC?
Uh, no. Is that what you think he should have done?
A suicide-of-opportunity, perhaps?
Well, they do call it a terminal.
A tough crowd today. Not even one sympathetic response in here? His national origin, his reason for being in Newark, etc., all aside, I'm sorry that whatever situation the man was in, he felt he had no other option than to kill himself. And I'm very sorry for his family.
Very suspicious. IMHO...not a suicide.
Well, those lay overs can be a killer.
indeed, something doesn't feel right about this. hopefully they are searching his home.
Rhetorical question. I think if someone is intent on suicide, little matters such as a paid-for plane ticket are not going to get in the way. Who knows - maybe it was a return to DC that he was dreading that pushed him over the edge.
Sad.
I agree, the statements here are along the lines of the Yahoo message boards and those are really near the bottom of class.
