At around 5:50pm a woman stopped her car in the middle of Hilliard Bridge, walked to the edge and jumped over.
There were witnesses on the bridge and below where she landed.
Both Rocky River and Lakewood Police were called and were there in minutes.

The woman describe only as white, approx. 5'6", 120lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes was pronounced dead at the scene.
Later I would learn she was only 19 years-old.

Prayers with friends and family.

And one more time...

"The woman describe only as white, approx. 5'6", 120lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes was pronounced dead at the scene."

A very terrible thing.

Hearkening back to previous discussions with Jim, if this person were Black or some other race, would it be mentioned?

After a group of friends visited the spot of her death, one stayed behind for hours.
