ARGENTINA - Alfonso Julio Doniacuo, 74, had an arrest warrant out for him in connection with a violent crime from 4 years prior. With his impending arrest and court case approaching, he chose to spare his family the suffering and trouble and jumped from a crane to end things.
Witnesses said Julio Alfonso Doniacuo, 74, climbed atop a crane in the Buenos Aires waterfront district of Puerto Madero on Wednesday at about 9am local time.
Rescuers tried to reason with the suicidal man before he made a sign of the holy cross and stretched his arms out.
Cell phone video footage captured the moment Doniacuo then leaps off the crane and crashed to the ground.
Doniacuo was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dude is probably aiming for the river, since you don't get fall damage in water.
