Clark refused to take his calls saying he didn't have time to speak to all the families that reach out to him after death investigations. Michael Gish said after the death certificate was signed by Clark, he repeatedly tried to contact him. Or attempted suicide in the past, according to investigators. But there is no evidence the teenager ever talked about taking his own life “Jordon voluntarily went off a bridge (and) he either did or did not know what was on the other side,” Clark said in testimony.Ĭlark also cited risk factors for Gish including ADHD and problems at home. The teenager's family has filed a demand in Pierce County Superior Court but during his deposition for that case Clark said even if Jordon Gish didn't know the bridges were too high, or too far apart, when he jumped, and even if he didn't intend to kill himself that night, he still views the death as a suicide. “We believed it was more likely an accidental death.” “This is a case where we differed with the medical examiner,” said police Capt. Investigators even asked Clark to do another review of the evidence they gathered in April of this year, but he refused to change his finding. Puyallup police investigated and agreed that in the darkness, Gish misjudged the distance to the ground and between the two bridges when he jumped. “Yes, 100 percent it was an accident,” Gish said. He said it was an accident by an impulsive teenager who made a tragic mistake. Gish's father Michael told KIRO 7 in March his son's death was a tragic mistake by a careless teenager, but not suicide. The camera didn't capture the moment he jumped, falling to his death.

Moments later, the grainy video shows Gish on a pair of bridges crossing the river. that day of the 6th with a friend running around empty parking lots and closed businesses near Meridian in Puyallup, setting off fireworks and taking some balloons from an outdoor display. Gish is seen on surveillance video around 3:30 a.m.
