Earl Badu, 33, a member of the University of Maryland’s 2002 basketball national championship team, has been indentified as the man who died Thursday after jumping from Interstate 695 into a construction area on Interstate 95 near Perry Hall.
Baltimore County police identified Badu as the jumper in an email on Saturday.
According to University of Maryland’s athletic site, Badu was a member of the school’s 2002 National Championship team after walking onto the squad in the fall of 1998.
Badu, a graduate of St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, died from his injuries at Bay View Medical Center.
According to electronic court records, Badu, who listed a PO Box in Bethesda as his address, was convicted of passing a bad check on Sept. 21.
I do sincerely apologize to any friends and family of the victim who read this, and felt as though I did. This'll be my final post on this thread.
Do people here question your lack of faith? Would you say anything like that to a radical Islamist?
To question others faith is about as ignorant as it gets. But what ever it takes to make you feel more comfortable in your lack of faith.....
However, that's what transpired. There was definitely a much better place to start a religion discussion then in an article discussing the unfortunate suicide death of a local person. This is why I apologized. Not for the content of my comments, but the location of them. My reality is this: I don't need the threat of being judged to do the right thing in my day-to-day life.
It's something that's really not found in society today.
Thanks again.
Forward. Please
