A 52-year-old man who leapt to his death from a freeway overpass left a note asking for Barack Obama to help his family.
El Paso police officer Chris Mears said the man, whose name has not been released, jumped from an overpass onto westbound Interstate 10 shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday. In his car, abandoned nearby, the man left a typewritten note on legal size paper on his dashboard and another attached to a rear window. Both were one-line notes asking for the Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate to help his family, Mears said.
Mears said the notes did not include any details about what kind of help the man wanted or what may have prompted him to jump to his death Thursday morning.
