The Chattanooga Police Department is conducting a death investigation after a person fell from a parking structure in the 600 block of Broad Street Wednesday afternoon. 

At approximately 3:43 p.m., officers responded to reports of a person who had fallen from a multi-level garage and was unresponsive. Upon arrival, police located a 44-year-old man with injuries consistent with a high fall. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.
 
CPD Homicide Detectives are investigating to determine the circumstances surrounding the fall.
At this time, there is no indication that the man's death was directly caused by another.
