A person died after apparently jumping from a bridge Sunday.

According to the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, officers from the Coeur d’Alene Police Department and KCSO deputies responded to a report of a welfare check on the Veterans Memorial Bridge on Interstate 90 east of Coeur d’Alene about 9:40 p.m.

Upon arrival, law enforcement located a deceased individual beneath the bridge. Preliminary investigation indicates the death was the result of suicide, the release said.
