SAN FRANCISCO -- The male protester that apparently fell or jumped off of one of
the towers on the Golden Gate Bridge has died, a U.S. Coast Guard spokesman
said.
Chief Petty Officer Dan Brophy said the man was pronounced dead at
11:55 a.m.
Initial reports indicated the man was attempting to secure an
anti-war banner on one of the tower of the bridge, however no banner has yet
been found at the scene.
Guardsmen were on scene when the man either fell or jumped off the
tower, falling about 220 feet from the center span to the bottom of the
bridge, Brophy said.
