Another apparent suicide from a communications tower. This is why the FCC would like to enforce those fencing regulations, to stop things like this from happening. However, if a person wants in bad enough they will find a way. Spectators said they saw him up there and then just step off the tower while someone else thought he was trying to climb higher.

This was reported on October 20^th, 2014. This appears to be the second suicide from a tower this year that we know of. More details in the link below.
