Default JBR Suicide

According to Seven Days, a young British expat threw himself off the 32nd floor at JBR over the weekend. Very sad indeed.

It made The Sun in UK, they seem to have taken a keen interest in Dubai at the moment, I wonder why.

Article said he was a 26 year old Brit who got drunk, argued with his missus and took a jump from apartment in the Marina.
