Man dies in fall from I-5 overpass

A man fell to his death Friday morning on I-5 south below the Convention Center.

Seattle Fire says it responded to the reported fall from the I-5 overpass from Capitol Hill just after 11 AM in an incident in the southbound lanes of I-5.

Crews were reported taking the victim in critical condition to Harborview.

According to the Medical Examiner, the 20-year-old victim did not survive his injuries.

The death has been ruled a suicide.

In another investigation near the overpass site, the medical examiner has not yet issued a report in its investigation of a suspicious death discovered below Plymouth Pillars Park in November.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, help is available. Call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or the Washington Warm Line at 1-800-500-9276.
