A University of Minnesota employee committed suicide in Nils Hasselmo Hall on Monday morning, University police said.
University police Deputy Chief Chuck Miner said the 37-year-old man was a part-time University employee. The man jumped from the building's upper level and landed on the concrete floor of the building's atrium, Miner said.
University staffers and others on the scene unsuccessfully tried to help the man, Miner said. Miner said counseling services were brought in for those who witnessed the jump.
