First suicide at Hoover Dam bypass bridge recorded after woman jumps

A woman jumped from the Hoover Dam bypass bridge on Saturday in the first known suicide since the sweeping arch linking Nevada and Arizona opened in October 2010.

Federal police were unable to persuade the woman not to jump from the pedestrian walkway overlooking the dam late in the evening.

The woman’s body was discovered downstream Sunday morning by kayakers on the Colorado River, almost 900 feet below the span.
