ANN ARBOR, MI (WHTC) – Ann Arbor police have identified a 21-year-old Saugatuck man who died on Friday morning following a fall through a glass ceiling at a local shopping center.
Police say that Joshua Brigham, who was a student at the University of Michigan, and a yet-unnamed female acquaintance climbed up the fire escape to the top of Nickel’s Arcade around 2 AM and had walked across the roof once. It was on the way back when Brigham fell through the glass and down three stories; he succumbed to his injuries at U-M Hospital. The female acquaintance was not injured.
According to university officials, Brigham was a psychology major in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts. He was a 2012 graduate of Hamilton High School, where he was a four-year varisty soccer goalkeeper for the Hawkeyes and ran the hurdles on the track-and-field team as a senior.
Detectives are awaiting results of toxicology results, but believe at this point that this was a “tragic accident.”
