He reportedly fell from an upper-level balcony in the building’s atrium around 11 a.m. and landed on the ground floor. Staff and emergency personnel responded immediately, but they were unable to revive the man. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities later determined his death to be suicide, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
