Police suspect the 55-year-old died after falling from the building.

That's some chief Wiggum level police work right there

It is possible he was murdered, then thrown off the building to make it look like a suicide. You'd want a coroner to weigh in before making any definite statements.

Yeah i know  it's more they way it was written that tickled me.

He could have been beaten up then thrown down the roof.

Or maybe he survived the fall but died in the hospital because of medical malpractice.

Anne Applebaum will hold a public "Speech to Europe" next week as part of the Wiener Festwochen. Weather permitting I shall attend.

Oh and you better believe I will not pass on a weirdo modern version of Wagner's 5+ hours of Parsifal.

Always seemed like a level headed person, plus didn't she move to Poland rather than stay in the USA?

She is also married to Poland's Foreign Minister (who I also think is very impressive) which may influence that.

I've a bit more mixed views on her.

Because she was not raised in a castle?

There has been a few cases of hantavirus popping up here and there.
First link to a cruise ship touring the polar circles.
Some passengers got of board before it was confirmed they got it.
Apparently, they contracted the virus before coming on board.

Now it's a flight attendant from KLM with mild symptoms.

Pandemic, round 2?  We were all watching the bird flu, and this is coming from the side?

I will stock up on toilet paper tomorrow.

She's probably the one who refused the infected passenger, talk about taking one for the team.

Looking her up her dad was a senior lawyer at Covington & Burling and her mum worked for an art gallery in DC - so she might well have been raised in a Georgetown castle.

I always have at least slightly mixed views on the neo-con wing of Trump opponents. Good they're here...but....

My local grocery store is already on shortage of various products because of a generalized strike in their warehouses.

Everything's fine.

That's a bit of a broad brush, she was far from being an ally of Rumsfeld, Cheney, etc.
