Portland police have identified the patient who died Tuesday evening after falling from a sixth floor window at Maine Medical Center in Portland.
In a late morning news release, Assistant Chief Vernon Malloch identified the patient as Paul Cady, 43, of Hollis.
“He died at about 5:10 pm after either falling or jumping from a sixth floor window,” the release stated, in part. “The circumstances around the death are still under investigation but are not considered suspicious.”
Malloch said no additional details are being released about the incident.
