Police do not suspect foul play after a man fell to his death off of the Missouri 152/Kansas Street bridge over southbound lanes of Interstate 35 Sunday night.

The 21-year-old Liberty man's death is being investigated as a possible suicide, police said.

The man fell from the bridge shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday, forcing southbound I-35 to be closed while police and emergency crews responded. The highway has since reopened.

The Missouri Highway Patrol assisted Liberty police at the scene. The incident remains under investigation.
