The death of a 71-year-old man found dead Tuesday morning near Brandywine Falls has been ruled a suicide.
The Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office said the Brecksville man died of multiple blunt-force injuries. The Beacon Journal typically does not identify victims of suicide.
A hiker found the man about 11:30 a.m. near the base of the waterfall, which drops 60 feet from a cliff to rocks below. The visitor who found the man didn’t see him fall.
