TAOS — Two Taos County sheriff’s deputies and Sheriff Steve Miera descended a steep path into the Rio Grande Gorge early Wednesday to recover the body of young man who had jumped from the bridge along U.S. 64 about 10 miles northwest of Taos.
The man jumped over the bridge’s 4-foot-high railing during a visit with his family Tuesday afternoon. Miera said the man’s girlfriend attempted to scale the railing after him, but she was stopped by a guard and taken to Holy Cross Medical Center in Taos for a behavioral health evaluation.
The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge has been a draw for people contemplating suicide since its completion in 1965; Tuesday’s death was the first since Oct. 31, 2021.
Taos County Sheriff Steve Miera and deputies Joseph Apodaca and Teodoro Flores climb down the Rio Grande Gorge on Wednesday to recover a body after a man jumped to his death Tuesday.
