He was actually a close friend of one of my wife's friends. She (the friend, and the family, of course) are in shock. Apparently I met him at some point years back, but I have no recollection of it.
On a related note. My wife is forbidding me from riding the Wisp mountain coaster. I was actually thinking of riding it this summer for the first time, on the way to Kings Island. I guess I better listen to her, though....
It is a bit hard for me to believe that he unbuckled his seat belt on purpose, though. Why would you do that? If it was a suicide attempt, that seems like a pretty unreliable way to commit suicide. Not to mention that from what I'm told, there was no reason to believe he was suicidal.
