| Flight from potential police arrest goes badly for Duquesne Univ. Running Back |
| 2018-10-06 |
| [Reuters] Duquesne running back Marquis Brown died Thursday night after injuries suffered when he allegedly jumped from a 16th-floor window at a campus residence hall. University president Ken Gormley informed students and faculty of the tragedy in a statement posted to the school’s Facebook page on Friday. In the message, Gormley alleged that Brown leaped from a window at Brottier Hall "after campus police arrived in response to a reported disturbance." Per Gormley’s statement, Brown died after being taken to Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh. According to USA Today, the Pittsburgh Police Department confirmed details of Brown’s death without naming the victim and said an investigation is under way. |

| #13 Nearly 25 years ago I worked across the street in the old Fisher Sceintific building and a young lady jumped out of that same building, commuting suicide. It is unfortunate but it does happen and it is very sad folks so young give up so early. |

| #10 for his experminents with studying Newton's laws? But he only ran the experiment once, Bright Pebbles, and therefore did not demonstrate that his results are reproducible. |

| #8 Sixteenth floor sounds more like LSD than alcohol. Guys, you gotta be cool when the cops come. Chances are you can talk your way out of it if your cool. Jumping out of a 16th-floor window is NOT cool. |

| #2 Gormley is a super-extreme pro-criminal lefty lawyer. Mayor Peduto is a super-extreme pro-criminal lefty. This should be interesting to watch. |
