I'm staying at the Poly Villas and didn't know until I read this. So sad.

Yes unfortunately this is more common than most think.

So sad.

Did they throw themselves in front of the monorail?

Did they throw themselves in front of the monorail?

I wouldn't have blamed them. The monorail was very frustrating last week. (Not trying to make fun of a bad situation. My grandma committed suicide, not at the Contemporary though.)

May the person, and the family and friends they left behind, rest in peace.

How horrible-- to be a position where there seems to be no better way out.

May he rest in peace. And may peace come to his family and friends, and to everyone at Disney who had to deal with this tragedy.

I know that some of you guys are just trying to be funny, but let's please be respectful with this very sad and unfortunate situation. Someone died on their Disney vacation - it's really not appropriate to make light of that.

It is very sad, but as others have stated, it is not uncommon for someone taking their own life to do so at a hotel or resort. Thoughts of peace and solace going to their surviving family and friends.

Hi All,

Please keep in mind that there is a family out there grieving right now. I don't think making jokes about a suicide is in good taste.

Not only did this person lose their life and leave loved ones behind, but if it happened on the concourse of the hotel, how many others saw what happened? What a horrible story. My thoughts are with everyone affected by this - family, guests, CMs, whoever.

So tragic.

 

[Jennygt]

Wait, someone jumped in front of the monorail in the main concourse? That is just awful

No I believe they just jumped off a balcony or ledge not in front of the monorail.

 

[Jennygt]

That's just so terribly sad

 

[Queen2PrincessG]

It is a permeant solution to likely a temporary problem. It sad that we don't have enough support for those who are suffering from feelings of hurt and pain and deep sad. To think that they thought this was their only way out... heartbreaking.

Pete had a great speech on this in todays episode.

I understand Pete's point about if you've never been to the point of attempting suicide, then you don't really know what it's like, etc. But why make such a private thing so public? Just thinking about all the children that could have been around to see this makes me sick.
