On the evening of September 22, Clementi left the dorm room, bought food from the campus food court, and, around 6: Clementi left a suicide note which, along with documents on his computer, was never released to either the public or to the defense team in Ravi's trial, because Clementi's suicide was not directly related to the charges against Ravi.
