Jumper

The hotel has a large open area in the center to where all the rooms open up. On the ground floor there are fountains and tables in that center area where people eat and meet. The hotel rooms all face this open space so that we can look over a railing down to the lobby. The other day, while we were at lecture, a former employee of the hotel jumped from the 16th floor to the lobby. I don't know the whole story, but there is still a tarp covering up part of the fountain and garden area. I wonder if there is a chalk outline under the tarp. Do cops still use chalk outlines?

Yes, they still use chalk outlines. Sometimes they also use tape.
