Vanessa Rivera Rivier (asker): 08:30 Jun 21, 2005: Thank you everybody...Yes it is a newspaper article but I was only handed the headline to translate so I actually don't know where the poor boy jumped from...thanks anyway!
Explanation: Is this a newspaper article? If so I think you need a less "literary" translation. I would put "throws himself from (a balcony, a building, whatever the place in question)"
I think it works better in your context.
Good luck!
