Man found hanging from tree at Woodland Park Zoo
Posted by John de Leon
-- From Times staff reporter Craig Welch:
A visitor walked up to a Woodland Park Zoo entrance early Saturday and saw a dead man hanging by a rope from a tree, police said.
Police are still investigating, but the death appears to be a suicide, said Seattle Police Sgt. Ian Foster.
The visitor contacted police at 9:12 Saturday morning after seeing the man near Aurora Avenue along the southwest side of the zoo, Foster said.
