On Oct. 17, 2006, around 8:30 pm, New Orleans police received a disturbing call from the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel. A man’s body was on the roof of the parking garage. Upon arriving and seeing the severely mangled body, it was clear the man had died on impact. Unsure if they had a murder, suicide, or tragic accident on their hands, the investigators began by searching the body for ID. In the man’s back pocket, they found a note reading:“This is not accidental. I had to take my own life to pay for the one I took."
