Looks like he was jumping off of the Ann Arbor RR Bridge.

That bridge is not very high. He must have hit something under water. That is really sad.

Re: Teen Dies jumping from RR Bridge in Ann Arbor
Was he jumping from the Amtrak bridge between Bandemer & Barton, or the Ann Arbor bridge at Argo?
The Amtrak bridge is pretty low to the water. The AA bridge is quite high and a pretty common one for jumping. I'm pretty certain there is a derailed train under the AA bridge (canoed out to it as a kid, I can remember seeing train wheels in the water... haven't looked for it since).

My understanding is it was the Amtrak bridge.

Re: Teen Dies jumping from RR Bridge in Ann Arbor
Amtrak bridge, as the article states "west of (Bandemer) Park," and doesn't mention anything about Argo.
