Woman dies after fall from parking garage

A 20-year-old Bloomington resident died Saturday morning after jumping off a parking garage.

Officers were dispatched at about 1:10 a.m. to the Seventh and Walnut Streets parking garage, said Bloomington Police Department Lt. Daniel Carnes, reading from a police report.

Officer Ian Lovan arrived on the scene and saw the female on the sidewalk of the southeast corner of the parking garage, Carnes said.

The Bloomington Emergency Medical Service arrived and transported her to the Bloomington Hospital.

The woman was pronounced dead at 2:15 a.m.

Witnesses told police the woman had jumped from the top of the parking garage and that they heard a loud impact, Carnes said.

The woman's purse was located on the top floor of the garage building, Carnes said. No foul play is suspect. Carnes said police are ruling the woman's death as a suicide.

The woman's name will not be released until family is notified.
