Uptown: Woman falls from high rise window, dies, possible suicide

A woman fell several floors from a North Side apartment building on Sunday and police are calling the incident a "suicide".

On April 10, 2011, around 12:51 a.m., a 911 caller said a woman  jumped from a 9th floor window at 4848 North Winthrop Avenue in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood.

The address belongs to a high rise called United Winthrop Tower Cooperative.

As a result of her injuries, the woman died. 

Later in the day, around 4:11 p.m., family, friends, and neighbors held a vigil for the woman in front of the building where she fell to her death.

No further details are available.

    She didn't FALL, she JUMPED! Now if the rest of the tenants from this Rat-Hole would do the same it would go a long way to cleaning that neighborhood up. I'm a black male and it makes me sick to see everywhere my people go we destroy it!! SAD!!! Why dud she jump? If I lived in 4848 I would jump! RIP? No,...SIC. 4848 SMDH! Since you miss him/her, join him/her!

    4848 has come a long way, it is now a respectful building, the building has really changed in the last six year, the building id newly rehabbed and it looks like a highrise down town best looking building on the north side. no more dope fiends, druggies,prositutes.
    you can now raise a family there, 24 four hour security, maintenance, the building is like new

    any one with something negative to say is a hater. i am proud to live here granite counter top in kitchen & bathrooms new cabinets, new hallways & floors upgraded electrical appliance & wiring new lighting its fablous
