What can you say on a day like today?

Hi, :( I know this isn't good news...but I wasn't expecting it either.

Just wanted to let you know someone was found dead in our apartment building this morning. Supposedly it's considered a suicide by the police , but none us on the premises knows all the details. It's the sort of thing you don't want to hear before breakfast and and I didn't feel like talking much ..I just left for class early and went into the classroom and turned on all the lights. I've only had 5 hours of sleep..and it's just barely registering now. I found out that it was our former handyman Patrick who lives in 103..his girlfriend supposedly is leaving for New York. my roomate said and he was always getting drunk and had a long bad history with women.

It's just at around 8am his current girlfriend comes screaming down the hall and said "He hurt himself, he hurt himself!" I had to let the police and paramedics in to the entrance (right outside the door). I just saw the lady prostrate on the welcome mat ..she didn't go back inside. All the neighbors despite looking blase..are really shook up.

I'm okay, I think..I had to pray..that his soul will be released from torment/limbo. I hope his death won't lead him to haunt the building. We already have a ghost in school. She was a prostitute who died by hanging herself in the Keating building when it was a hotel.

I'm just sick to my stomach..or maybe its food poisoning. I'm saddened, remembering he was the guy who put in our blinds backwards when we first moved in. He wasn't a very good handyman though...

I've got to get back to work . I just wanted to let you know what happened and how I'm feeling.
