Man Jumps to Death onto Stage at Outdoor Concert

The Swell Season was playing an outdoor show at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga in front of a crowd of about 1,900 when the jump happened Thursday night.

Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Rick Sung says authorities are treating the death as a suicide.

Sung said the man's identity will not be released.

Sung says the man left a friend in the audience around 10 p.m. and soon appeared on a roof that covers the stage.

Witnesses say he jumped off the roof and landed on stage near the band's lead singer, Glen Hansard.

(...) The jumper was pronounced dead by a doctor in attendance who spent an hour trying to revive him.
