A Salem man jumped to his death from a downtown apartment building after ingesting LSD, the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office reported Wednesday.

Justin M. Perez, 22, and a friend both ingested the drug before he jumped over a 10th-floor railing at the Majestic Loft Apartments, 231 W. Wisconsin Ave., shortly before 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to a medical examiner's report.

Perez had taken three "hits" of LSD in the form of pieces of white paper before becoming agitated, according to the report.

Friends attempted to calm him down and called 911 when he began punching a wall. He then walked out of the apartment and jumped over the rail, according to the report.

Milwaukee firefighters found Perez on a 6th floor landing, where he was pronounced dead, according to the report.

The incident is under investigation by Milwaukee police.
