Ministering at Troas

7 Now on athe first day of the week, when the disciples came together bto break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.  
8 There were many lamps ain the upper room where they were gathered together.  
9 And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.
10 But Paul went down, afell on him, and embracing him said, b“Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.”  
11 Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed.

Acts 20:9

There sat in a window - This was probably an opening in the wall, to let in light and air, for there was no glazing at that time; and it is likely that Eutychus fell backward through it, down to the ground, on the outside; there being nothing to prevent his falling out, when he had once lost the power to take care of himself, by getting into a deep sleep.
