Suicide

At around 12:30 p.m. a woman called police and said she'd confronted a 56-year-old man who'd been stalking her as he was cutting wires outside her home. The man fled in a Ford C-Max, and a neighbor reportedly chased him a short distance and told police his location. Police pursued the man, who crashed through the gate of Mt. Avon Cemetery and later struck a tree, but kept driving. Rochester police said they ended the pursuit. The man then parked at an auto repair shop in Rochester Hills and got a ride to Madison Heights. Madison Heights police determined he was at the Fairfield Inn. According to police, he fled on foot when the officers came to talk to him, entered a nearby room open for maid service, and jumped to his death from the third-floor window.
