I know I said I gave him no sympathy, but I do have sympathy for his family. The professor who thought that climbing on a moving vehicle would somehow give voice to his union strike... or something... fell off and hit his head. He died in hospital just hours after the end of the strike.

The article states: "John was a wonderful colleague," Burrows said. "He was very popular with students. He was always patient. He always gave them all his time and attention. And he always took an interest in making the college work better for students."
