A law school grad, most recently working as a pretrial supervisor, has died after attempting to slide down a third-floor bannister at the Brooklyn Museum.
Kirkland Dawson, 34, reportedly lost his balance at the First Saturday celebration while trying to perform the light-hearted slide and fell to the ground floor. He was rushed to the New York-Presbyterian New York Methodist Hospital, but ultimately died of his injuries.
Kirkland had worked as a deputy clerk and probation officer before taking the NY bar exam a month ago.
