problem they seem to have. Maybe a public service announcement would help.

It's a real word; defenestration: it means to throw someone or something out of a window and also has a secondary meaning.

Comes from the Latin fenestra, which translates to "opening" or "window." I knew the term was used in architecture, but didn't know it was also used in anatomy and medicine.

Edit: Sorry, a couple of posts beat me to it.

Most people don't just "fall" out of windows. It's kind of obvious what is going on here. Couldn't they even try to make it look like an accident?

Anyway, sorry to hear this. RIP Mr. de Kooman.
