GRANDVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio (WCMH) – Grandview Heights police are investigating an attempted murder and suicide case, linked by a woman found stabbed multiple times and a person found dead on a Columbus highway.

Grandview Heights called for assistance around 7:13 a.m. Wednesday on reports of a man’s body located near Interstate 670, according to Columbus police. Grandview Heights police said the man jumped off of the Grandview Avenue bridge and was pronounced dead at the scene. Responding crews shut down access to I-670 at the U.S. 33 exit ramp.

Shortly after Columbus police responded to the report at the bridge, a woman with multiple stab wounds walked into the Grandview Heights municipal building. She was taken to the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center in stable condition.

Grandview Heights Police Chief Ryan Starns confirmed to NBC4 around 3:30 p.m. that his department was investigating the man found dead on I-670, identified as 70-year-old Richard Mathes, for involvement in an attempted murder connected with the woman found with stab wounds. He previously noted that investigators established a crime scene at a home in the 1000 block of Grandview Avenue, which was also linked to the crime scene on I-670.

Traffic on the highway, which was backed up as far as the I-70 and 270 interchange, was diverted to I-70 East. I-670 eastbound reopened just after 10:30 a.m.
