> His phone's location was at the Golden Gate Bridge for all of Monday evening.

It unfortunately seems clear what happened. Aren't there cameras that could capture someone jumping off the bridge?

For anyone not familiar, Golden Gate Bridge is a pretty common spot for committing suicide especially for people under 40.

I remember watching a documentary on depression.

They did catch a jumper on camera.

They showed him pacing, hesitating, and then jumping.

Would not recommend.

Was it The Bridge? That's one that's still on my mind to this day.

Yeah, that documentary haunts me still.

Hesitate to ask- what’s the documentary?

Probably not that one but I’ve seen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bridge_(2006_documentary... powerful film.

Damn, I think I saw him around campus before. Really tragic.
