Madison police are considering a UW-Madison student’s fall off an eighth floor balcony Saturday night as a suicide attempt, according to police spokesman Joel DeSpain.
DeSpain said this morning that the 21-year-old student was being treated in a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries after he fell six stories from an eighth floor balcony to a second floor roof at the La Ciel Apartments on 515 University Ave. around 10:45 p.m.
