Rudolf Alexandrov, Adjunct Professor at Chestnut Hill College, Jumps to his Death in Front of Stunned Wife & Students

SHOCK: Rudolf Alexandrov, an adjunct math professor at Chestnut Hill College, gave his wife, Olga, and class the shock of their lives when he committed suicide in plain sight. According to the Daily Mail, Alexandrov was about to start his class at the college when he suddenly became agitated and walked out. He then reportedly returned to the classroom in St Joseph's Hall and shouted before running to a second-floor ledge in the hall's rotunda, where he fell about 20 to 30 feet to his death.

Mr Alexandrov’s wife Olga, 56, who also works at the college as an adjunct professor, witnessed the fall - as well as his students. Lt Robert Zaffino of Northwest Detectives said the professor 'had a history of depression.' He said Mr Alexandrov 'had been having suicidal thoughts and mentioned harming himself in the past.' Officers were called to the Mr Alexandrov’s home last week after he went missing, but he was found wandering the neighbourhood a short time later. Source
