A woman died Wednesday (Oct. 18) after apparently
plunging from the fifth floor of the Walter Baker apartment

release the name of the 44 year-old victim, but she was
thought to be a resident of the apartment complex at 1200
Adams Street. Boston Police were called to the scene at
12:52 p.m. on Wednesday for a report of a "suicidal female
threatening to jump," according to a police spokesperson.
Upon arrival, the victim was found on the ground in cardiac
arrest, with a pulse, but no blood pressure.
"A window was found open in a fifth-floor
apartment, which was secured," said Boston Police Officer
