"LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said a 17-year-old boy who died over the weekend while climbing the 6th Street Bridge was taking part in an apparent social media stunt.
However, the teen's family is disputing that claim, saying the fall was simply a tragic accident.
Police were sent to the bridge around 2 a.m. Saturday and found the boy, who was pronounced dead at a hospital. The family identified him as Anthony Luna.
Anthony slipped and fell "when climbing upon one of the arches, in order to post, apparently, a social media broadcast," Moore said Tuesday during a Los Angeles Police Commission meeting."
