Rescue workers were trying to save the life of a man who jumped off a bridge into the Intracoastal Waterway on Thursday afternoon.

I hope they are going to charge the bi.tch with the rescue bills!

I was there when it happened, looks like he was dead, did he even live?

[neptola grubbs]

he got his new property tax bill for 2009.......more too follow...

City of Davie wants to charge 1,000 for each car they pull out of the water. The city of Deerfield should charge that for each human they pull out of the water. Better yet just let the stupid sob flounder. Maybe he wanted to go to the cove and was hot.

I'm sure he was a law-abiding upstanding citizen.

[florida local]

he could not have survived the current, his odds were against him right away.

the same time as this happened, a man committed suicide on a city bus, near Fed highway, and Atlantic blvd.(you didnt hear that one, cover-up!).sick..

too many suicides, cannot blame just the economy, that is a scapegoat to the fraud...
broward should talk about the crisis, and the many dead each week, and offer counseling.
how many more do we need? ridiculous.

He worked with my husband, he was a very nice man, no problems, i am aware that he called a couple of his friends up hear so they can call state police and the FBI that someone was following him around. Please investigate!!! This does not seem like a guy that would do such a thing.

[newark]

I am a friend of his and i know him. Does it look like he intentionally threw himself over or he did he stumble or fall over??? becaus ehe was such a hapy guy.

An awesome friend will be greatly missed!

?WHY?....we will never really know!

Oh please. When we were kids we used to dive off the bridge in Boca Inlet for fun. This is before Boca and S FL became a third world & Bronx toilet.
