This was the roof where the tragedy occurred. It happened during the summer boys camp that was held there while the high school seminarians who attended the school went to their own camp in Ellenville NY. As you can see the parapet is very low; it's a mystery, but certainly could have been a terrible accident involving sleepwalking or just kids goofing off while the adults slept. I also arrived there in 1964 and never heard about it until years later when someone tried to link it to clergy abuse.

The roof Paul fell from had walls as high as four feet...Hard to climb. Trajectory is not correct for an accidental fall. Talk to the Chief.

Ok, this is the part where i ask like all these questions and u may not have the answers 4.
Why is the door open?
I thought that the accident happened at night and now theres some crap about a camp.
And i thought there is video surveilance bcause theres a sign that says the property has 24/7 camera security.
I have been 2 this place b4 wit my friends and its soooooo ez 2 just walk rite on in.
