SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A man who was found dead hanging by a rope off an
18-story Sacramento high-rise appears to have been a graffiti tagger,
Sacramento police said Monday.
Fire Battalion Chief Marc
Bentovoja<http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fus&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Marc+Bentovoja%22>said
the man appears to have died accidentally of asphyxiation when he
created a harness from the rope and lowered himself down the east side of
the office building.
"From everything we can tell, he didn't have any special rope rappelling
equipment on, climbing equipment or anything like that," he said. "He
appeared to be looped into the rope."
Police department spokeswoman Michele
Gigante<http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fus&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Michele+Gigante%22>said
Monday afternoon that investigators found a can of spray paint on the
part of a balcony where the ropes were anchored. A tool for etching glass
was found on the ground below his body, she said.
Gigante said building surveillance showed the man entering the building
alone on Sunday. Police believe he gained access to the roof of the nearly
240-foot building and lowered himself three floors down to the balcony
before lowering himself again.
Police and fire crews responded after receiving a call at 7:44 a.m. Monday.
Rescue personnel were seen rappelling down the side of the building to
check on the man, but he was already dead. The body was retrieved shortly
after 9 a.m.
The coroner's office will conduct an autopsy to determine the official
cause of death. It is not releasing the man's identity until his relatives
are notified.
Bentovoja said the man did not appear to work for the building.
Formally named the 1201 K Tower, the building houses offices for lobbyists,
public relations businesses and law firms that do business two blocks away
at the
Capitol<http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fus&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Capitol%22>
.
The man's death comes less than three weeks after police say a 22-year-old
convicted graffiti tagger fell to his death while spray-painting a freeway
bridge in Sacramento. Gigante said the deaths were unrelated.

I guess the dems are going to be short a California voter in 2014.
