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