Former Nigerian model, Yinka Olonode, commits suicide in the US

On Monday April 29th, police said an unidentified man jumped from the rooftop restaurant of The Nines Hotel at 525 S.W. Morrison St, downtown Portland, USA. The man who jumped and died has been identified by the Multnomah County Medical’s Examiner’s Office as 34 year old Yinka Olonode.

Portland Police Bureau spokesman said Yinka Olonode jumped from the hotel building’s 15th floor around 6:30pm that Monday evening. He said they do not suspect fowl play but that the death is under investigation. If Yinka indeed committed suicide, nobody knows why he did it.

Yinka Olonode was a model back in the day and worked briefly for Rhythm FM before relocating to the US in 2003.

May his soul rest in peace…Amen
