It is unfortunate that we have lost Stephen Mumbo over at Delta towers today. As we marked #WorldMentalHealthDay on Wed, I shared this, 2 days later, this happens. There is a GREAT NEED for us to not only talk about mental health matters, but encourage people to speak up. https://t.co/Fi1wHB9Qmf

A father(probably) drove from home this, probably even kissed the wife goodbye and hugged his children, then decides to end his life by jumping from 17th floor of Delta Towers. Some things don't make sense.
RIP Stephen Mumbo
