Why Is This News?

From the LVRJ (with large picture and story on their home page): 
A man jumped to his death off the Hoover Dam bypass bridge early Saturday morning in what is being called an apparent suicide.
Hoover Dam police were called to the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge shortly before 5 a.m. Saturday after reports came in of a possible suicide attempt.
Officers made contact with the man, and attempted to coax him off the side of the bridge. According to Las Vegas police, who received reports of the incident about 5:20 a.m. Saturday, a Hoover Dam officer was within 15 feet of the man, attempting to create a dialogue.
But the man never responded to police, and eventually jumped, falling 900 feet to his death, Las Vegas police said.
Witnesses said that the man stopped his motorcycle on the bridge, jumped the wall onto the walkway, and then climbed over the walkway’s railing. The Clark County coroner’s office will determine the man’s cause and manner of death and identify him pending notification of next of kin. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/man-jumps-death-hoover-dam-bypass-bridge
Ok, other than the BLM police have to scape this guy's remains of the cement below or fishing his bod out of the river, why is this news?  Who cares, other than maybe his family?
Obviously the guy didn't care or he would have killed himself on the Strip.  Well, maybe not, the media don't like to publicize all the suicides on the Strip, but there are many.
So, why is it news that some guy wants to off himself from the bridge?  It's just 1 less person in the DNA pool.
