“At this time, through the investigation, it does appear to be a suicide, as nothing could be found to indicate otherwise,” officials told Daily Voice.

The reason he jumped was unavailable at the time of publishing, but in the days since his family told us he struggled with depression for many years.

One family member wrote:

"He has struggled for years and in turn his family has suffered with him."
