A 45-year-old Parker County man died Monday after falling or jumping from the 12th floor of the historic Baker Hotel, city officials said.

Mineral Wells police officers and Fire/EMS personnel were dispatched to the hotel after receiving a call about a man on the roof, according to the city.

Officers attempted to contact the man but were unsuccessful. He then either fell or jumped from the 12th floor, officials said.

The city is withholding the man's identity out of respect for his family.

The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office will determine the official cause and manner of death, according to the city.

City personnel were offered counseling at the scene, with additional support available in the coming days.
