Umm..err...

And then there are those days when you see a dead body on your daily lunch walk:

I was walking through a few minutes after it happened, just before they started closing off the skyway surrounding the IDS center. They were just covering the body with a sheet, but what I could see was pretty messy. They say that the "condition of those involved is not known at this time", but I'm telling you, the person involved that I saw was not in an "unknown" condition.

That's something I don't personally see every day. Nor do I care to.

Edit: The news story has been updated. A man fell through the glass when clearing snow from the top of the building. How very sad. (ehhem...and gross)

Yuk. Yikes. Eek! Sorry you had to see THAT!

Sounds like OSHA is going to be all over somebody's ass for that one, if it was indeed an "industrial accident" as speculated.

I don't think they know a whole lot about it at this point. As I was walking through, a small crowd was gathering (gawking). I, of COURSE, just had to turn to see what everyone was looking at. I didn't stop for more than a second, but security was just starting to shoo people away.

Someone asked, "Did he jump?" to which they replied, "No!"

But I don't think they actually *knew* anything about it yet.
