Man Attempts Suicide Inside Central Library
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - A man estimated to be about 35 years old was in critical but stable condition after he jumped from the fourth floor of the Central Library on April 20 at about 1:30 p.m.
Police are calling the incident, which happened inside the building, an attempted suicide. “Witnesses saw him jump, so it wasn’t an accident,” LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon said. The man’s name has not been released. The incident comes two weeks after Downtown saw two “jumper” suicides in two days; on April 8, 33-year-old Sun Sannes, who had legally changed his name from Doral Fields, jumped off a six-story parking structure at the southeast corner of Hill and Third streets. The following day, Reuben Escocio Bie, 26 leapt to his death from his 20th floor apartment in the Promenade Towers at 123 Figueroa St.
