Update: The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office on Friday identified the man as Derek Tyler Smith, 22, of Morris.

Earlier: A man apparently jumped to his death from a UAB parking deck Thursday afternoon.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue and Birmingham police were dispatched to the parking deck near the School of Medicine administrative offices at Sixth Avenue South and 20th Street at 3:03 p.m.

When they arrived, they found the male on the sidewalk. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Authorities believe the man jumped from the top floor of the six story parking deck. Birmingham police Sgt. Johnny Williams said they are not yet identifying the man and had not yet positively confirmed his affiliation with UAB. He said the death is believed to be a suicide.

UAB, however, sent out this statement to its employees and staff: “It is with a heavy heart I share news of an employee suicide this afternoon. It occurred at the 6th Street parking deck and police are on the scene. Hospital Human Resources will share mental health resources with employees as appropriate. We have no further details at this time and police are working to notify the family."
