A teenager who plunged to his death from a Los Angeles bridge was preparing to broadcast a stunt on social media, the LAPD has said.
Police were sent to the city's 6th Street Viaduct at around 2 am on Saturday (May 20), where they discovered a 17-year old boy, who was later pronounced dead in a local hospital.
Chief Michel Moore told a meeting of the Los Angeles Police Commission on Tuesday that the youngster slipped and fell "when climbing upon one of the arches, in order to post, apparently, a social media broadcast".
