| Which writer killed himself?
By jumping off the Brooklyn bridge. Pretty sure he was European, but thats all I can remember at present.
I'll be surprised if anyone on here knows this, but its worth a shot. |

Hart Crane wrote the poem 'The Bridge' which is a paean to the Brooklyn Bridge and all it represented, and later committed suicide by jumping from a boat taking him to New York, but that's not exactly what you're asking for. Also, he's hispanic.
I'm not gonna lie and say I knew that, but it only took a quick google search.

| Re: Which writer killed himself?
i googled it and found this news story:
A naked man who was running across the Brooklyn Bridge and shouting that it was a beautiful day was struck and killed by a car minutes before dawn yesterday, the authorities said.
I'm going to the bad fire for laughing at that. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...56C0A965958260 | |

The only writer I can think of that committed suicide by jumping off a bridge (although I'm quite sure there are more) is John Berryman. He jumped from the Washington Avenue Bridge though.
