Graffiti artist found dead, dangling from Sacramento, Calif., high-rise

A graffiti artist was accidentally strangled to death by his own rope after lowering himself off an 18-story high-rise, fire officials believe. The man, who has not been named, was found by passers-by swinging 240 feet in the air next to the 1201 K Tower in Sacramento, Calif., at 7.45 a.m. on Sunday. A can of spray paint was found on the balcony where the ropes had been anchored, and a tool for etching glass was discovered on the ground.
