Atlanta Man Jumps to His Death After Partner Dies

Friends and family are mourning the loss of a man from Atlanta who tragically jumped to his death Monday after his long-term partner died in their home, the British newspaper the Daily Mail reports.

Mark Rhea Castleberry, 55, took his own life by driving over an overpass on his morning commute. He left a note behind in his car that told authorities where to find the body of his partner, Gregory Woodlief, 66, who passed away following a longtime illness.

Woodlief’s body was found in the couple’s Chamblee, Georgia, home. The men wore matching rings and Castleberry, who once worked for the Miss Atlanta Scholarship Pageant, placed his on his partner’s body before leaving Monday morning.

Mark's sister told the media, "My brother pretty much lost his mind and leapt," she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "He didn’t want to be in a world that Greg wasn't." Full story here via Edge!
