Man Jumps To Death From Penobscot Narrows Bridge
A man jumped to his death from the Penobscot Narrows Bridge Friday morning.
Maine State Police confirmed a 79-year-old Brooklin man died from his injuries after jumping from the bridge.
According to a Facebook post from DEEMI Search and Rescue, the body was recovered in the Penobscot River.
In that post, DEEMI volunteer Ellie Barker said a civilian attempted to stop the man from jumping, but was unsuccessful.
"She's a true hero for trying," Barker said in the post.
