Walking Man killed himself by drowning, coroner rules

The death of Dr. Marc Abrams, the popular Walking Man of Silver Lake, is now officially a suicide. His lawyer disputes the findings, but the ruling from the Los Angeles County coroner is that he drowned himself. “He was found in the Jacuzzi with the Jacuzzi lid pulled over the Jacuzzi itself,” said Ed Winter, assistant chief of the Department of Coroner Investigations. “There was no suicide note found.”
