Death Of 42-Year-Old Woman Found Outside Fall River Condos Under Investigation

FALL RIVER (CBS) -- Police launched a suspicious death investigation after a Taunton woman was found outside a condo complex in Fall River Tuesday morning. Officers responded to the Waterview Heights condominiums around 9:35 a.m.

The 42-year-old woman was rushed to the Rhode Island Hospital where she was pronounced dead, according to Bristol County District Attorney's Office.

Her last known address was in Taunton, the D.A. said. Her identity is not currently being released.

Residents are stunned. "I've been here 20 years now, this is a very quiet place. I've never much of anything like that ever," one man said.

Another theorized that the woman fell out of the window. "She went out the hallway window. It was the craziest thing. Like what? I mean, they are not very big windows, you practically would have to force yourself to fall out the window," he said.

No other information is available at this time.
