A woman plunged to her death from a riverside high-rise this morning and investigators don't believe her death was a suicide.
The unidentified 30-year-old woman fell from the 12th story of the Resident at Dockside Apartments at 717 S. Columbus Ave. in the Penn’s Landing Section of Philadelphia around 4:30 a.m. Friday.
Originally it was believed the woman plunged to her death from a 12th story balcony into the Delaware River below but later police confirmed that she actually landed on the patio of a fourth-story unit on the south side of the building. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives told NBC10 that the woman was visiting a friend’s apartment at the time of the fall.
Detectives said they are interviewing a resident about the incident. As of late morning investigators wouldn't say if it appeared that the woman was pushed or accidentally fell from the apartment above. They did however tell NBC10's Monique Braxton that the death didn't appear to be a suicide and that they would be getting a search warrant for the 12-floor unit.
A person who answered the phone at the Dockside, which has both apartments and condominiums, rental office politely declined comment.
The woman's identity is pending family notification.
