A Castle Rock man died outside a movie complex yesterday when he hooked a cable from his neck to a concrete pillar, then sped off in his car.
Nobody reported the 57-year-old man's suicide outside the Castle Rock Stadium 12 movie theater until a construction worker spotted the car in an adjacent field and made the horrific find about 2 p.m., Castle Rock police spokeswoman Karen McGrath said this morning.
She noted that the incident, which began in the theater parking lot, occurred during a slow time of day for the theater at 3960 Limelight Ave.
The suicide was confirmed when investigators found a note the man had left in his apartment. Police declined to make the note's content public.
The man's identity has not been released.
