A 70-year-old man in the capital Athens took his own life by jumping from his flat after a court clerk stopped by to issue him an eviction notice on Friday.Upon receiving the notice, the man immediately went to his balcony on the third floor of an apartment block in the neighborhood of Galatsi and threatened to jump.Despite the clerk's pleas to dissuade him, the man committed suicide. The previous incident happened on Thursday when a middle aged bank worker leapt from the Acropolis at around 09:00 a.m. local time. He had reportedly left work for a morning break shortly after arriving and never came back.He was a worker at state-owned agricultural lender ATEbank, which had run into problems during the crisis. Police in Athens say there is no evidence to suggest that the man had any financial problems.There has been a sharp rise in the number of suicides in Greece which are widely viewed as a reflection of the country's economic woes.
