It was unclear who started it, but guests were continuously holding up their phones, reminding those around them to check the news.
——Sheldon Fowler, the only son of the Fowler family, stood on the windowsill of a room on the twentieth floor of the Walker Hotel, surrounded by crowds below.
The video was shot by people below with their cellphones. Sheldon Fowler was just a small dark silhouette in the footage, amid the noisy and chaotic sounds, punctuated by screams from time to time.
"He's going to jump! He's going to jump!" the onlookers shouted, whether out of fear or excitement was unclear.
The police hurried to the scene but were still a step too late—Sheldon Fowler's body plummeted straight down like a rag doll from the twentieth floor, crash-landing on the marble floor of the first floor without any suspense!
