Moron.

Report heard on the scanner was that the person jumped off the I-95 bridge over the Patapsco River into Patapsco Valley State Park. Report also heard was that the victim died on scene.

Very likely died, That bridge is nearly 200 ft above the river

Never the answer.

It was the answer, at the time for the poor man, who for whatever reason reached his breaking point.
So many lives have been devastated over the past few years.
Hold on and be strong!!

She means that, suicide is never the answer, there is always another a way out of your troubles or worries. So very sad.

Something big is happening right now (4:47 p.m. 9/21/2012) near York Road and/or Charles Street on the beltway. Been hearing multiple sirens for 5 minutes now.

Md. DNR guy had the Avalon area of Patapsco State Park closed off at South St. about 12:45 pm.

I have been in that park. It is very pretty.Deer all over the place. I got lost there once. I hope it is easier to navigate, and that it doesn't become known as a place to die 0_0.

Kudos to The Patch. You scooped all of the major media with this report. I have been looking for any coverage of this story on Channels 2, 11, 13, and 45 and so far I have found none. I haven't opened my copy of the Baltimore Fishwrapper (perhaps better known to some of you as the Baltimore Sun) yet this morning on Saturday, 9/22/2012, but I'm fairly certain that they will not cover this story.

Baltimore Fishwrapper - what a hoot! I like the Sun, but I understand why some people. don't

Suicide? Did anyone see him jump off the bridge? He could have been pushed or thrown off the bridge. Things like that are happening, you know.

Great guy knew him for years. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I'm teared up as I write this. Burd

I was running in the park when it happened. He def. jumped. I didnt see it, but I saw his car parked at the top of the 95 bridge and the sheet covering his body. My condolences.

Was there anymore to this story? Was this person from the area?

Why do some of you care about the identity of the individual? And why does the circumstance of his/her death matter to you? If you were a close family/friend, you'd have been notified; if you don't know by now, then it's none of your business. Besides, what good does it do to you or his loved ones for you to know his/her identity? Toss your curiosity aside, and respect the privacy of the deceased's loved ones.

Why do you care that I care that they care? What does it matter to you?
And to answer your question: Maybe because it's personal to me. Think before you speak. There's no need for this information to be public but the family can surely use some privacy.

Yes. You're right.

My condolences to all familiar with this individuals. Prayers for you all!

I would like to know the name of the man if anyone can tellme. I was one of the two Park Service employees who arrived at the scene before the police arrived. I cannot get the image out of my head and would like to know who he was and why he did this. Just for personal reasons. I open the park every morning and have to drive by the spot countless times a day. Any info to help be reslove my thoughts would be deeply appreciated for my minds sake.

Hi Everyone -

Bruce - You allude to details specific to this incident. As I do know the person everyone is collectively discussing I would appreciate anything you can share to me personally via private response that may help the family involved understand this situation more given details are sparse.

Thank you

There has been a lot of speculation about this incident, and several people have told me the name of the person they believe was involved. The Department of Natural Resources has not responded to four requests for information.

Ordinarily, Patch does not report the names of suicides. We realize this is a tragic and very personal experience. However, this incident happened in a public place and affected traffic. Also, identifying the person would also set the record straight for others who have passed along another name. It is just as important to let people know who was *not* the person.

Hi Bruce -

I already know the person. I just need any details that you may have. If you could email me I would appreciate it. Thank you so much.

Normally. suicides don't make it to the media for lots of reasons not the least of which is that the authorities so not want the site and circumstances of the event to become a "suicide magnet". i.e. a situation where someone who is thinking of committing suicide says to themselves "hey, that person was successful ending their life, maybe I should go there and do the same."

Anyone who was close to this person already knows the identity of the deceased. Sharing a name does no one any good.

My sincerest condolences to the friends and family of this person. May he rest in peace and may God care for his family.

@Bruce Goldfarb: Your latest comment does not make any sense. What does the fact that "this incident happened in a public place and affected traffic" have anything to do with publishing the name of the deceased? So what it happened in a public place and affected traffic? How does publishing the identity of the deceased change anything or make any difference in the future? As to your comment, "Also, identifying the person would also set the record straight for others who have passed along another name. It is just as important to let people know who was *not* the person" - as Harry Callahan pointed out, anyone who was close to the deceased already knows his/her identity. I don't think what you're pursuing after has anything to do with responsible journalism.

I know the person who died as well. I posted a comment last night similar to obesa's, but it did not post. I, too, can not understand why people want to know the person's identity. What will you gain? It would accomplish nothing but satifying the morbid curiousity of others who do not know him. There is no compelling reason to publish his identity. If you are a family or friend of him then you know who it is. Bruce - the fact that it "affected traffic" is a ridiculous argument and sad indication of your ability to justifying intruding on a family's privacy. Did your website publish the names of the two indiviiduals referenced in your article who committed suicide in the park? If not, then the argument that it was a public place is moot. A family is in pain. Hopefully, you never have to endure this type of pain.

Dear Climber 422,
Just wanted you to know that I am concerned that you had to experience the trauma that you did on your job last week. I know that there are many responders to accidents and/or medical emergencies who would understand your discomfort. I hope that since you wrote to The Patch that you're already on your way to healing and able to find ways to deal with this unique type of grief.

Hi Everyone -

WHY? - Could you please email me? YouthGoneOld@gmail.com

Bruce - I am hopeful I will hear from you as well.

I am simply looking for any details surrounding what took place. Details for the family are sparse.

Thank you all so much

I know the person quite well too. I was actually in contact with others about him the actual day this tragic event occurred. I think it is best to keep that information anonymous as a show of respect to the family. I can tell you that he was a fantastic guy, funloving personality, extremely bright, with a decent career and a great family.This entire situation came as a complete shock to me and many others that know him. Let's allow him to rest in peace without passing his name around like a bunch of gossiping teens.

Amen I totally agree ! I too knew him as well and the media needs to respect him and his family ! Prayers sent for peace and healing to his family an friends!
