STILLWATER, Okla. —  A 53-year-old Oklahoma State University employee committed suicide Wednesday in a restroom in Stillwater Medical Center, Stillwater police said.

 Brittney Rochell, of OSU’s communications office, confirmed the man was an employee of the school and worked at the botanic garden.
