Man dies after falling six stories
A 56-year-old man was scaling an apartment building early Tuesday morning when he fell six stories to his death.
The Bexar County medical examiner's office confirmed he died of a "multi-story fall" after he was found dead and the roof lock cut on the rope he was using to scale the historic Aurora Apartments in the 500 block of Howard Street..
The man has not yet been identified and is reported by San Antonio Fire Department staff to not be a resident of the apartments he was climbing in the 500 block of Howard St.
The Express-News previously reported that the building that faces Crockett Park, designed by Richard van der Stratten and Herff & Jones, opened in 1930 as an upscale apartment tower. In recent years it was used as affordable housing through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
