The San Diego-Coronado Bridge was closed for three hours late Saturday and early yesterday while authorities negotiated with a 25-year-old man who threatened to jump from the span. Shortly after midnight, the man jumped and killed himself, authorities said.

Another jumper on the Coronado Bridge
Saturday night the Coronado Bridge was closed from about 9:30 until 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning. I saw police activity at the top of the bridge, but had no runs to the island. Today's San Diego Union-Tribune explained what happened:

I always wonder how miserable their people's lives really are to actually consider and then actually commit suicide. I guess he's in a better place now.

Joseph was pushed to do something this horrible because his wife made him choose between her and his family. He wasn't allowed to speak with us and didn't have any friends to vent his anger to.
Our family is very small and very close... this has really crushed us all.
Joseph also had a toddler son, like the young man mentioned in the above comment but, Joseph's wife will not let the family see him.
