PHILIPPINES For reasons that remain unclear, a man chose to end his life by jumping off the roof of a building. Since the height alone might not have been enough to guarantee death, he deliberately aimed for high-voltage power cables to ensure the outcome. His desperate act was successful, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are working to determine what led him to such a tragic decision, while the incident left witnesses in shock.
