A man is believed to have jumped to his death Thursday from a parking garage at Maryland’s National Harbor as conservatives from across the country gathered at the resort for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.
Officer Tyler Hunter of the Prince George’s County Police Department said “at this point we are ruling this death investigation a suicide.”
Hunter said Thursday afternoon the person appears to be an employee of a nearby business and does not appear to be affiliated with CPAC.
The garage is a few blocks from the hotel where CPAC is going on. President Trump is expected to deliver a speech to the convention on Friday.
A witness, Muhammad Ilyas Khan, told the Examiner he was in his car and saw a man hit the ground from the parking garage. He described the person as middle-aged white male who was well-dressed.
