Man jumps to death onto stage at US concert

The Swell Season was
playing an outdoor show at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga in front of a crowd
of about 1,900 when Michael Edward Pickels of San Jose jumped Thursday night.
Authorities are treating Pickels' death as a suicide, sheriff's spokesman Sgt.
Rick Sung said. Sung said the man left a friend in the audience and soon
appeared on a roof that covers the stage. Witnesses say he jumped off the roof
and landed on stage near the band's lead singer, Glen Hansard. Witnesses said
Hansard removed his guitar and walked over to the man's body. The man was
pronounced dead by a doctor in attendance who spent an hour trying to revive
him.
