Maryland Police are investigating what they believe to be a suicide that took place across the street from the Gaylord National Resort, where the annual Conservative Political Action Conference is being held.
Onlookers reported that the man fell to the ground from the top floor of the parking garage at Bobby McKey Dueling Piano Bar, just minutes away from CPAC. Numerous CPAC attendees witnessed the aftermath of the incident on the way to morning sessions.
