A major downtown thoroughfare reopened Thursday night following an apparent suicide in which a man may have jumped from a six-floor parking garage, officials say.

Police said the man, who is in his 30s, may have been trying to commit suicide and leaped from the building at Second and Van Buren streets, said Sgt. Trent Crump, a Phoenix Police spokesman.

Van Buren Street was closed in both directions between First and Second streets as downtown workers were nearing their evening commute.

Albert Vidal, 19, said he was driving down Van Buren at about 2:30 p.m. when his friend spotted the man. Vidal pulled to the side of the road and called police.

A crowd had begun to gather at that point.

Vidal said the man was bleeding from his mouth and nose and was not responsive. Vidal said he initially thought the man was dead, but then saw him begin to move and breathe.

The man was pronounced dead at a hospital.
