A British man has committed suicide by climbing up the Eiffel Tower in Paris and jumping to his death, officials said on Monday. French Police spotted the man climbing the structure of the tower around 11:30pm (2130 GMT) on Sunday. They evacuated the tower, sealed off the area and tried to negotiate with the man.
Firefighters tried to talk the British man down from the tower but failed and he jumped from between its
second and third levels, a height of between 125 and 310 metres (410 to 1,017 feet), said Frederic Grosjean, deputy spokesman for the Paris firefighters' brigade. Suicides by jumping from the tower "happen frequently enough, but it is rare for someone to be able to climb so high", a police source said. As reported by The Telegraph UK.
