Dunwoody Man Falls to His Death at Pullman Train Yard

ATLANTA, GA -- A 2015 graduate of Dunwoody High School fell to his death from an east Atlanta building on Friday.

According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which has taken over the case, Alexander Flynn and two friends entered the Pullman Train Yard at the intersection of Arizona Avenue and Rogers Street. The trio was planning to skateboard through the property.

Flynn reportedly found a ladder affixed to the inside of one of the structures and climbed the ladder to the roof. He attempted to walk across the roof top but inadvertently stepped on a fiberglass skylight, causing him to fall about 40 feet.

The Dunwoody Crier is reporting that the building is occasionally used as a movie set.

The Crier also cited Flynn in 2011 as a novice member of the Dunwoody High debate team that was the school's first team to compete at a national level and reach the finals.

At Dunwoody High, Flynn was a member of the debate team and was cited in The Crier in 2011 as a novice member of a squad that was the first from DHS to compete at a national level and reach the finals.
