To the people who found the room, it looked like a scene from a horror film. Last month, staff at the University of Cologne in Germany discovered a basement room in the institute of anatomy filled with more than 100 human corpses and plastic buckets labeled, “noses,” “newborns” and “shark head,” the Guardian reported. It appeared they had been abandoned for a decade or longer.
A staff member told a German newspaper that the cooling system had broken and that the room smelled putrid.
An investigation is ongoing, the Guardian reported and the corpses of people who had donated their bodies to science are slowly being identified.
As rumors swirled around the university about the macabre findings last month, Professor Jürgen Koebke, 66, the former director of the institute of anatomy, was found dead under a bridge in Cologne. Authorities believe the professor, respected by staff and students, stabbed himself to death.

The body of Professor Jürgen Koebke, 66, the institute's former head, was found under a bridge in Cologne last month days after rumours began to circulate; police suspect he stabbed himself to death, and he left a note in which he made reference to the irregularities at his institute. He is said to have been respected by staff and students alike.

Weird things going on there

Truly bizarre. Something right out of a horror film. I'd love to see the follow-up story to this.

I was just thinking that - that's a really painful and drawn out way to go

I can think of many 'ideal' ways to commit suicide, but seriously? stabbing myself doesn't even make my top 10....just saying

Reminds me of a famous one: Donald R. Manes allegedly stabbed himself to death after his psychiatrist went to check the door while talking about his suicidal tendencies. Can't remember all the details here are two links if you’re interested:

There's certainly better info out there but that’s all I got with a quick google search.
