Death of Garry Hoy

Garry Hoy (January 28, 1954 – July 9, 1993) was a Canadian lawyer who died when he fell from the 24th floor of his office building at the Toronto-Dominion Centre in Toronto, Ontario. In an attempt to prove to a group of prospective articling students that the building's glass windows were unbreakable — a stunt he had performed without incident many times before — he threw his body against the glass; however, this time the entire window frame gave way, and Hoy fell to his death.
