At around 2:20 p.m. an officer spotted the man in the mall’s parking garage.
A short time later, the man fell from the garage to the ground below. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.
The SIU was notified because an officer was present at the scene at the time of the fatal fall.
No further details about what transpired have been released.
