Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office investigators say the circumstances surrounding a man’s death on Highway 98 early morning July 22nd appear to involve suicide or are the results of a tragic accident. The victim, a 31-year old tourist from Gainesville Texas, was having an argument with his wife while a passenger in their pickup truck. They were heading west on Highway 98 on Okaloosa Island around 2:30 a.m. after leaving a Destin nightspot. The wife says the victim opened the truck door, threatening to jump out on two occasions. The second time he opened the door he landed in the roadway. He was rushed to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center but later pronounced deceased from his injuries.
