On the morning of Sunday, January 7th, ranger Eric LaSalle and USPP officer Ezra Savage responded to a dispatch report of a suicide attempt off a social trail at Fort Funston. The 82-year-old victim was found near the hang glider deck with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. City fire and EMS personnel transported him to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. That evening, Presidio fire personnel and rangers Bruce Phillips, Daniel Camiccia, Steve Cunningham and Pat Norton responded to the north anchorage of the Golden Gate Bridge to assist in the recovery of a body from the rocks at the base of the bridge. The victim, a man in his mid-40’s, had jumped from the bridge and missed the water. A unified command was established to safely and discreetly remove the victim’s remains for the Marin County coroner.
