Man dies after jumping from Prague's Nusle Bridge

A 27-year-old man died on Wednesday evening after jumping from Nusle Bridge in Prague. Police are investigating the incident. There is, as yet, no information on the man's identity or the reasons why he jumped. He is the second man this year to kill himself by jumping off the 40-m bridge. More than 200 people have committed suicide by jumping off the Nusle Bridge since it first opened in 1973. Unofficial figures, however, put the number of deaths closer to 300.
