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.
