Suicides in Reno

Reno is known for their quickie divorces, quickie weddings, and the allure of getting rich quick at the tables of the casinos.  So you can imagine the feeling of despair if a person fails at one or all three.  I don’t know what the suicide rate is here in Reno, but I can imagine it is high.  I’ve come across 2 of them in as many months.  This one was at the Amtrak Station, which sits below the street level.  There is a high fence to prevent this from happening, but if there’s a will, there’s a way.  This one was today…

This one I caught as it happened back in July, when this desperate person jumped from an 8 story parking garage.
