SAN JOSÉ, COSTA RICA – JANUARY 9, 2025 Guy decided to end his life by jumping from a height. But since there aren’t enough high-rise buildings in Costa Rica’s capital, he improvised a bit, entering a construction site and climbing onto a crane from where he jumped down. It was such a height that he had no chance of surviving. Witnesses said they were mentally crushed by the sight of it.
Police have still not been able to identify the man. If anyone recognizes him, please contact the Costa Rican police by any means and help them with their investigation.
If you’re thinking about suicide, please stop and recognize that your pain is not permanent, but this step would be. It may feel like there’s no other way, but there is hope, even if it’s hard to see right now. Your feelings are temporary, and with help, they can pass.
Talking about what you're going through might feel difficult, but it’s the first step toward healing. Don’t turn away from the people who want to support you. Life can offer more than what you're feeling right now, and the pain doesn't have to last forever. You deserve help, and it’s available.
