After 10 Failed Suicide Attempts, Man Finally Succeeds

A man who had tried to kill himself on at least ten occasions finally suceeded Friday after jumping to his death from a freeway overpass. According to police, 41-year-old Francisco Solomon Sanchez of Duarte, California died after plunging into rush hour traffic; he was struck by at least one vehicle after his fall. Investigators says Solomon has jumped or threatened to jump from freeway overpasses and other high places in the Duarte area more than 10 times in recent years and in 2003 he broke both ankles after jumping from the same overpass. As a result he was given two prosthetic legs and underwent a brief psychiatric evaluation. The L.A. County Coroner ruled his death a suicide. RIP.
