A 38-year-old man hanged himself with jumper cables outside a Stevie Nicks concert in Concord, California, on Saturday night following an encounter with his estranged wife.

Police say the man's wife ran into her husband, against whom she had a restraining order, in the parking lot of the Concord Pavilion after the show. She summoned the venue's security, by which time he had climbed atop a utility pole.

Police and fire departments were summoned to the scene, but despite their efforts, the man either jumped or slipped from the pole, hanging himself.

Officials indicate that the man was believed to be distraught over family issues, and that his death was not in any way related to Nicks.
