Principal Accused Of Child Endangerment Writes Suicide Note On Facebook Before Jumping To Death

A 51-year-old man accused of child endangerment jumped to his death at a Disneyland parking garage in California and left a lengthy suicide note behind.

Christopher Christensen, who had spent 22 years of his life as the principal of schools in California, was facing misdemeanor charges of child endangerment and battery and was scheduled to appear in court Monday, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Cops received a call about a man who had jumped from Disney's Mickey & Friends parking garage in Anaheim, on Saturday night, just before 9 p.m. local time.

Minutes before ending his life, Christensen wrote a lengthy social media post blaming his wife and the "flawed" system.

Christensen shared a post on Facebook at 8:38 p.m. and said he had an "amazing" marriage of three and a half years with his wife, Marlena before a recent "heated argument" between the two.

"Tempers were flared and strong words were exchanged between us" in front of Marlena's daughters, Christensen wrote.

"Unfortunately, Marlena's anger got the best of her that night and she called the police, which landed me in jail that night," Christensen wrote. "Yes, me! A man who has never hit or harmed ANYONE in his life!"

"Never in this exchange did I hit, slap, or hurt Marlena in any manner," he continued, as quoted by NY Daily News. "Nor did I ever touch the girls (I never have and never will). I love the girls like my own and they know that, as does everyone else who truly knows me."

Christensen explained how the accusations had turned his life upside down and that he was faced with the risk of losing his job as principal of Newland Elementary School in Huntington Beach.

He also wrote that "the legal system is extremely flawed (especially against men/fathers) and it's sickening how quickly and easily an innocent man can be thrown in jail based on zero evidence or proof!"

"So, here I am...writing my final FB post to all of you," Christensen continued.

Officials believe his death was a suicide, adding that the exact cause of death will be confirmed by the coroner's office, Sgt. Shane Carringer of the Anaheim Police Department said.

Christensen had earlier pleaded not guilty to the charges against him during his arraignment on Nov. 22, the New York Post reported.
