SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Streets were blocked off by emergency crews in downtown Sacramento after a man’s body was found hanging from the exterior of an office building on Monday.
Firefighters tried to rescue the man, but by the time one firefighter repelled down to him, he had already died.
“He had two pieces of rope that were looped around his body in a fashion that at times is used in different military operations or in different free mountaineering techniques,” Marc Bentovoja, firefighter, said.
