SAN JOSE, CA — A 19-year-old man fell to his death Thursday morning from the tower of a residential building under construction in San Jose, the construction company confirmed today. The man was identified as Gavin Lam of San Jose, according to the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner's Office.

San Jose police declined to release information on the incident because it is believed to be a suicide.

At about 6 a.m. Thursday, Lam, who is employed by the Swinerton firm which has been providing consulting services on the project, was on an upper floor of the under-construction Silvery Towers site at 188 W. St. James St. in downtown San Jose when the fall occurred.
