This is the 7th person to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the void of the footbridge since it opened to the public in 2018. The last was a little over a month ago. On September 25, a 51-year-old woman decided to end her life in this way. In June, then last July, a man and then a woman were saved by passers-by just before committing the irreparable.
