Woman dies after jumping from Modesto’s Yosemite Boulevard into Dry Creek
A 51-year woman died Sunday night in Modesto after apparently jumping from Yosemite Boulevard into Dry Creek below.
Police and firefighters responded to the scene, just east of Morton Boulevard, around 6:50 p.m.
Modesto police officers first on scene began CPR on the woman. Firefighters took over but soon stopped due to obvious signs of death, according to the Fire Department.
The Coroner’s Office identified the woman as a transient from Modesto but The Bee is withholding her name due to the nature of her death. Modesto police said the death appears to be a suicide but an autopsy will be conducted to officially determine her cause and manner of death.
