A man in his early 20s died Tuesday afternoon after apparently jumping from a cell tower in the 3900 block of Booth Calloway Road, Richland Hills police said.
Police were called about 1:45 p.m. after the property owner entered the tower site and found the man's body. Police originally believed the man may have fallen through a hole in the roof of the building during a copper theft.
But investigators later determined that the man had jumped "to commit suicide," Detective Tye Bell said in a news release.
Police were continuing to investigate Tuesday, and the Tarrant County medical examiner was notifying next of kin.

i was there and saw all the news people there and his body get taken away i live in the rain tree apt. the cops seem to have found something in the creek behind the place because the news crews went to see what was going on. theres alot more to the story that no one is telling. But i would really love to know who he was.

@kendra its none of your bisness on who he is. all you need to is that he was a good kid and we never saw him doing this. we miss him so much so can you just shut up and leave this alone unless you know him you should not be woundering who he is!!!

So sad. Always tragic when a young one takes their own life. It is hard to ever stop wondering. What was so wrong, what could have been done to help, why didn't they ask for help. Go bless him, his family and friends.

I never said anything wrong so go some one to jump at me is really rude I wanted to know who it was so I would know if it was someone I knew so back the hell off.. I was there and seen everything not the jump so I posted what I saw. I understand it is hard I lost 2 family members close to me in Jan they took there own life so I do understand the coming from but you had no right to snap at me and im very sorry for you loss and I even put a candle down and flowers for him which they removed everything like 2 weeks ago. There's nothing wrong with me wanting to know who he was
