• 18th Ave fall: A man believed to be in his 30s was found with life-threatening injuries outside a four-story building on 18th Ave just north of Madison Tuesday afternoon. Police and Seattle Fire were called to the scene just before 2 PM in a response in which medics worked for nearly 40 minutes to stabilize the victim before transporting him to Harborview. Police were working to sort out the circumstances of the fall. Seattle Fire described the man’s injuries as life threatening.
• Harvard Court death: Police were called to the Harvard Ave E Monday morning after a person was found dead outside the Harvard Court apartment tower. Homicide detectives were called to the scene but the death is being investigated as a suicide. In 2010, CHS talked with officials about the Seattle Housing Authority facility after two suicides at the 80-unit building.

While suicide is typically not reported by the mainstream media, CHS believes it is an important community issue to include in our coverage. Here are two resources to help: National suicide-prevention hotline: 800-SUICIDE. Local Crisis Clinic: (206) 461-3222.
