Suicide Attempt In Lewes

[Mendoza]

On the way to work this morning, and the traffic was larger than normal,
Then it came to a complete stand still.

Rumour is that some guy had tried to jump off a tall building in Lewes town centre, so the high street was closed by the police

Cant think of a tall building myself.

Can anyone confirm these rumours or actually know what happened if the story is different?

 

[Heffle Gull]

Radio 2 are saying Lewes high st is closed due to an incident. No details though

 

[Easy 10]

I know Baker was disappointed with the decision, but this seems excessive.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I knew the parents of some poor unfortunate lad who threw himself off the bridge over the A27 at Lewes 20 odd years ago.

What a dreadful way to go.

Minute's silence on Saturday?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Brighton/Lewes scarves?

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Minutes applause, it was a very gracefull jump.

 

[Bigtomfu]

I heard he did a swan dive.

8.6, 8.5, 8.9, 9.0, 9.5, 6.0 - Oooh he's got to be disappointed with the mark awarded by the Swedish judges...

Cry for help innit. If they were serious they'd hop off Beachy HEAD and not drag anyone else into their WOES.

 

[vulture]

Reckon its a nsc poster having seen too any of aids polls and threads which has driven him/her off the edge

 

[Monkster]

Cry for help innit. If they were serious they'd hop off Beachy HEAD and not drag anyone else into their WOES.

And if you were serious about it, you wouldn't exactly choose a DOCTORS SURGERY to do it from would you?

 

[Happy Seagull]

A bouncy castle is being erected on the pavement just in case.

 

[British Bulldog]

So was it a jumper, an attention seeker or is it still ongoing?
