A portion of N. Glebe Road is closed near Chain Bridge due to a death investigation.
Initial reports suggest that someone jumped or fell from a bridge along the GW Parkway around 2:30 p.m. They were reportedly found near the Potomac Heritage Trail and pronounced dead on the scene.
A sizable police presence remains, as of 5 p.m., at the parking lot at the corner of Glebe and 41st Street N. Glebe is blocked between Military Road and Chain Bridge Road, with all traffic on Chain Bridge Road getting redirected onto Chain Bridge and inbound traffic on Glebe being detoured onto Military.
It’s unclear how much longer the closure will remain in place.
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger of self-harm, call 911 or the Arlington Dept. of Human Services emergency services line at 703-228-5160. You can also call the national 24-hour crisis lifeline at 988.
