At 27, Matthew Bahna had just lost his job and he was upset about the direction his life had taken.
After turning in his uniform at Cold Stone Creamery in Celebration on Aug. 11, he took a Lyft to Universal?s Adventura Hotel and went up to the 17th floor rooftop bar at about 10 p.m. He consumed six drinks over more than two hours at the bar, which has a panoramic view and is surrounded by an 8-foot glass wall.
Just after 12:30 a.m., Bahna used a couch to scale the glass. After three attempts, he was able to pull himself over the glass and jumped to his death, according to a report from an Orlando police detective who reviewed security camera footage of the incident.
