A man fell from the ninth-story deck of a downtown hotel overlooking Monument Circle, where the NFL was putting on a free concert that drew thousands Downtown before the Colts-Saints game.
“It’s apparently a suicide, but we’re still investigating,” said Joseph McAtee, Area II commander of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
The man’s identity was not immediately released, but a police report several hours later said he was a 32-year-old from Indianapolis. It was unclear whether his family had been notified. He was believed to have been taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital about 7:15 p.m.
His body was found in an alley between the hotel, 31 West Ohio St., and the headquarters of WellPoint on Monument Circle.
He was described as a white male wearing swimming trunks or shorts. McAtee said the man left his belongings, including his wallet, on a table near the pool, but he left no identification.
McAtee said none of the witnesses who spoke to police knew the man. The hotel has an outdoor pool surrounded by a patio area on the 9th floor. The part of the patio that borders the alley is surrounded by a cement ledge and metal fencing about 5 feet high.
Hotel officials who were present at the accident scene after police left declined to comment on the incident.
