Shortly after 10 a.m., dispatch received a call reporting an individual had parked a vehicle near the bridge and jumped, according to public information officer Drew Sugars.
Officers were dispatched immediately to the scene, and at 10:17 a.m., Search and Rescue crews were paged to help recover the body. The body was located about 10:30 a.m., and officers confirmed the person was deceased.
Sugars said teams most likely are still in the process of recovering the body because of the treacherous terrain.
