Also, I’m not sure if the initial report has since changed, but I heard that they were over water, but did not die from drowning and that the impact was the cause of death.
They pulled a guy out of lake Michigan today who survived a suicide attempt from the Mackinaw bridge. If he really wanted to kill himself he needed to go out to mid span where he would have a couple hundred feet to the water.
The hour in 40 degree water probably came closer to killing him than the 70 foot jump.
