Construction workers on Interstate-25 in Thornton came to work this morning to find the grisly scene of a 19-year-old Thornton man who hanged himself off a bridge pillar.
Thornton police identified the man late this afternoon, but did not release his name. Police Spokesman Matt Barnes said the man committed suicide and foul play was not suspected. The family has been notified.
The workers found him just after 7 a.m., hanging from a pillar on the north entrance ramp at 144th Avenue. Barnes said the man could not be seen from the highway, that he was hidden from view by the bridge.
