A Fort Rucker, Ala., man died after apparently jumping from the 15th floor of the Summit Condominiums, 8743 Thomas Drive, Panama City Beach, on Friday afternoon.
Police are calling it an apparent suicide. Panama City Beach Police Department Chief Drew Whitman said the landing location of the body — about 30 feet from the building — indicates the man would have had to leap from the floor, instead of merely falling. Whitman added there were no witnesses to the man’s fall. Police recovered a suicide letter from a backpack belonging to the man, which said the man traveled to the area to end his life.
