A 23-year-old man who died this morning after falling from a ledge of a city parking garage has been identified as William Mabry of Shelby, N.C. Mabry is a former SCAD student. He did not earn a degree from SCAD, but took classes from Fall 2008 to Spring 2009.
The Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department issued the following statement:
“Mabry, who has been living at 107 W. Liberty St., died about 2:15 a.m. in the fall from the six-story Bryan Street Garage. He lost his balance while he ran on the rooftop ledge on the north side of the building. He was declared dead in the lane between the garage and the Holiday Inn Express.”
Two men and a woman who were with him at the time told SCMPD he was running on the ledge while they were skateboarding on the top level. An off-duty SCMPD officer discovered the body after checking noises from the lane.
District will have continuing coverage as the story develops.
