A 22-year-old Atlanta man, distraught over not passing a high school equivalency test, committed suicide late Friday morning by jumping from the balcony of an 11th-floor apartment in Midtown, police said.
The man, whose name was not made public Friday afternoon, had also been upset because he believed his boyfriend was more intelligent than he, Atlanta police Lt. Keith Meadows said.
The man and his boyfriend were talking in the apartment they shared in the Plaza Midtown condominium building when the man got a strange look on his face, walked onto the balcony and jumped, Meadows said.
He landed on the sidewalk in front of a restaurant in the building, which is in on West Peachtree Street north of 8th Street.
The man had been living in the condo with his boyfriend since shortly after moving from Mexico in December, authorities said.

First of all, at 22 why are you taking a high school equivalence test? and second there ain’t nothing in this world that would make me jump from an eleventh floor balcony because of a thought.
