A caller reported hearing what sounded like “someone screaming, then falling into the water” around 11:15 p.m. Monday. Dispatched police officers found the victim’s wallet along with his identification card at the edge of the bridge, according to reports.
The victim reportedly used to work at a manufacturing firm. His family members told officers that he had sent a text message prior to his death. The content of the text message has not been revealed.
