RIP Hiroyuki Oze
Orix Buffaloes infielder Hiroyuki Oze has shockingly died. The 24 year-old fell from the second floor at the hotel he was staying at in Miyakojima, Okinawa. Nikkan Sports and others are speculating that this could have been a suicide, though details are still unavailable.
Last year I wrote a post like this about Nick Adenhart. I hope this is the last time I write about this type of news.

I thought it was the 10th story, not the 2nd. Did I read that wrong?

From the front page of Nikkan Sports on February 6, 2010:
I interpret that as saying that the emergency crew went up to the second floor roof to have a look at the source of blood flow (reported from a hotel staff member) and discovered Oze’s body. It is believed that he committed suicide after having leaped from the upper floors of the 11 story building. I don’t remember where, but I recall reading that it was most likely the 10th story he leaped from.

No, of course not:
Here’s the article I used:

I must have read through that too quickly. It says his body was found on above the 2nd floor, but doesn’t specify what floor he fell from.
