Fourth Prague Defenestration

[Andrew Hicks]

        I've been struck by the near unanimity in obituaries of Bohumil
Hrabal in treating his death as an accident.  Given that he'd publicly
been looking forward to death for some time, and given that his demise
was perfectly in the style of his fiction, I prefer to think he jumped.
        So why not lay the question definitively to rest with an informal
poll of this newsgroup?  Did Hrabal fall, or did he jump?
        Please reply to me rather than the newsgroup.  If I receive
sufficient responses I'll post the results next week.
