Upon arrival, deputies located the male and attempted to communicate with him for approximately 30 minutes in an effort to persuade him to move to a safer location. Despite these efforts, deputies were unable to establish effective communication with the individual. Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- Believing the male was in imminent danger of taking his own life, deputies attempted to secure him physically. The male immediately resisted by pulling away and striking at deputies with his hands and feet as they attempted to prevent him from harming himself. The male ultimately broke free from the deputies' grasp and fell over the edge of the overpass onto the roadway below. Emergency medical personnel responded to the scene, and the male was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Despite medical intervention, he later succumbed to his injuries.
