PASADENA >> Suicide is suspected after a man plummeted to his death from the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena Friday afternoon, authorities said.
Witnesses discovered the body of a man believed to be in his mid-20s just before 1 p.m. in the Arroyo Seco, beneath the bridge, Pasadena police Lt. Mark Goodman said. No one reported seeing the man fall from the bridge.
Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene, the lieutenant said.
There were no initial signs of foul play, he said. “It’s believed the man jumped from the bridge.”
The iconic 144-foot-tall bridge spanning the Arroyo Seco has a history dating back to the Great Depression of attracting troubled souls seeking to end their lives.
