Michael Ladino, 19, fell 40 feet to the courtyard near the entrance of the Worcester Foothills Theater at about 5:30pm on Tuesday, March 12. He was brought to St. Vincent Hospital, where he died at about 10:30pm.
The death is considered a suicide. A suicide note was found on Ladino's body. The note indicated that Ladino had school and family problems.
