How many people, since its been built, Have committed suicide by jumping from the Eiffel tower?

Question

Or having anything to do with the Eiffel tower, even if they hung themselves in there.

Answer 1

Because of its height, the Tower has unfortunately been a very popular place to commit suicide; over 400 people have thrown themselves off it since it was built, although wire mesh is now used to keep visitors from doing this3. To get up to the height you want to at the Tower, there are lifts from the ground - one in each of the four 'legs' - to the first level, which is 57 metres above ground, and to the second level, which is 115m above ground. The second level is where all the 'legs' of the Tower are brought together. Then there is a lift to the third level which is 276m above ground. Ordinary visitors cannot go higher than this, but there is the observation deck, lamp and the radio tower and antenna.
