Man jumps from 14th floor of Disneyland Hotel

ANAHEIM, Calif.—A man jumped to his death Friday from the 14th floor of the Disneyland Hotel, a popular resort for tourists visiting the nearby theme parks of Disneyland and California Adventure.

The man, who was in town on business, jumped from his balcony on the hotel's south tower around 11 a.m., said Sgt. Rick Martinez of the Anaheim police.

Martinez would not release the man's identity.

"We're investigating, but all indications by examining the room and talking to witnesses, it's being called a suicide," Martinez said.

He would not say if a suicide note was found and declined to release any details.

Martinez said the man was sharing a room at the 16-story hotel with a male co-worker
