My first jumper...


Recommended Posts

      So I work at Cal State Fullerton and have heard story's from coworkers about people who have jumper off various buildings through the years, some pretty crazy story's but it was just a thing that happened and had no affect on me until today. I come into work and shoot the shit for a bit like normal then head out to clean up trash at my assigned parking structure because we were flocked with family's yesterday moving there kids into housing to start school next week. I turn my little portable speaker on and start at the bottom floor and get to it cleaning up trash, cig butts, stupid flyers people put on cars and such.

 

   I get to the 3rd floor and continue doing what I'm doing and pick up an almost full Starbucks coffee cup and proceed to dump it off the north side so it doesn't make a mess on my cart when I go to dispose of it and when I go to empty it guess what I see.... A fucking dead body, I'm stuck in disbelief for a second and then I start saying " oh shit, fuck fuck fuck, oh shit, shit, fuck" I call my lead and get no answer. I'm pacing around freaking out and continue to say those 3 words call again no answer, call again and he answers. He says what's up and I tell him " there's a fucking dead body at my structure!!!" He says what? are you sure?" I say "yes I'm fucking sure" then he tells me " alright just calm down keep cool go to the stairs and will be right there". So I still pace around freaking trying to stay calm, I finally get my shit together and sit down and wait for someone to show up. Campus police come flying 3 cars deep and ask me where it's at and I point and tell them it's off the side. They all take off and leave me there to get to where the body is, while there down there my lead comes up and ask where it's at, I point and he goes and takes a look and just lets me know it happens from time to time on campus. He ask me how I'm doing and I almost lose my shit, he tells me just get my stuff and head back to the office and I do just that not looking back. No more than 10min passed and several facility staff are flocking towards my structure and calling me.

 

     I've seen dead bodies before but nothing like this, shits got me fucked up right now. I was going to stay and continue my work day but they told me I could go home with a full days pay so I had to go I wouldn't of been able to get any work done. I can't understand why some people resort to this to deal with there problems, I know shit gets rough sometimes but there's always another option someone else in the world always has it harder than you. I feel bad for this kids family, maybe they might have pushed them to hard to achieve in school or something, just sucks man I didn't expect my Friday to be like this and I didn't expect to ever see this shit happen while working here but I thought wrong. I just hope its the last time...

Oics or it didn't happen.

Yea because I'm that cold of a human being to take a pic and post it on the internet, you can go and look for yourself if you'd like but you probably won't get past all the cops and caution tape. I'd normally lol but not today dude not a laughing matter.

Trust me when I tell you the really bad part is if that sort of sight ever STOPS bothering you.

Iv'e never seen any shit like that dude, my leed has seen 3. He actually witnessed a women jump and drop 20ft in front of him, my boss has been there for 6 and he's only been there 7yrs. It's just fucked up man not something I expected to have to go through. Now I got consoulers calling me to setup an appointment and talk about it, shitty thing to experience man.

Sorry bout the inappropriate joke. I like to lighten up uncomfortable situations with dead pan humor.

 

I'll never forget my first dead body. It was labor day weekend. Me and three buddies always hung out in this tree house where we could listen to the radio and look at porn.

My fat friend Vern comes in and tells us he heard his older brother talking about where this dead kids body was on the side of the tracks. We decided to go check it out. Long story short, it took two days. We got chased by a dog and nearly hit by a train. Then when we get there some other douches show up to steal our credit for finding the kid (which we were actually stealing from Verns brother). There was a big showdown, and I ended up calling the cops anonymously.

 

It was a real coming of age story for me. I heard not too long ago that one of those guys got stabbed.

Guy or girl?

 

I'm kinda shocked that you get one a year. That's really not okay.

 

My money is on guy. Girls tend to do it in a way that leaves a pretty corpse. Thats why the percentage of failed attempts are higher for women.

Not sure guys didn't see a face, they were asian tho. Think it was a guy with shoulder length hair...

 

I would never commit suicide just because there are way too many other motherfuckers who need to assume room temperature before I do. r0p, good on you for not snapping a pic.

I'm with you on that man just gotta grin n bear it, there's no way I would of taken a pic that would of involved me going back for a 2nd look and once was good enough I won't forget this...

I of course have no way of telling what is truly going on in someones mind, I have trouble figuring out what is going on in my own, but my opinion is....there is a point where most of us would make the decision to take the big dirt nap. Some of us would be really strong, some really weak, but I think just about everyone has a limit. You just hope you never find it.

I don't have it in me man, I'm sure all of us at some point in our lives have thought about it (me as a dumbass kid being mad at my parents) but I don't have the balls man, I always just deal with it and let things take it's course and it always works out.

I worked in a grave yard for a few months after I got out of the service back in the 70"s. It didn't really bug me that much. (the dead people) But I was high most of the time so that helped.

I never felt sorry for the one's that took their own life.

 

The one that is still fresh in my mind after 40+ years was the dude I saw laying on the side of the freeway, One leg torn off at the pelvis. Pretty fucked up shit.

Sorry to say you won't forget that event any time soon.

Seeing a dead body jolts you, but seeing someone die in front of you messes you up for a bit.  My wife witnessed a fatality around 6 weeks ago while driving to work.  A motorcyclist, while merging over to 57S right past Diamond Bar Blvd, ran into the back of a Honda Civic and dumped the bike.....unfortunately he was right in front of a semi.  The tractor drove over him while my wife watched it all happen one lane over.  See saw his body bounce after every axle passed over him.

 

As for the jumper, as soon as you said Cal State Fullerton I knew they were going to be asian  While living in Hong Kong and southern China, the news always seemed to have a brief clip about someone who jumped, asphyxiated themselves, etc. Jumping seemed the most popular given all the high rises.
