A 54-year-old man jumped off a West Dayton Street parking ramp Sunday afternoon and died on impact, according to the Madison Police Department.
MPD Sgt. Jason Ostrenga said the man jumped off the Civic Center parking ramp, located at 309 W. Dayton St., to commit suicide at approximately 1:34 p.m.
“[The man] left his vehicle on the sixth floor of the parking ramp and left what appears to be a suicide note,” Ostrenga said.
A witness heard the man hit the ground and called Madison police, according to Ostrenga.
Ostrenga said the man died upon impact and said the MPD does not suspect foul play.
The police investigated the scene and called the coroner, who will contact any family members, according to Ostrenga. But Ostrenga said he did not know if any relatives had been contacted as of Sunday at approximately 5:20 p.m.
Due to the circumstances, the police department will likely not release the man’s identity, according to Ostrenga.
