Person killed in apparent fall in downtown Redwood City
REDWOOD CITY – A person was killed in an apparent fall over the weekend in downtown Redwood City, police said.
Officers were dispatched to the 1900 block of Broadway around 2:30 a.m. Sunday for a report of an unconscious person, according to the Redwood City Police Department. They arrived to find the person lying in a driveway leading to a sublevel parking structure.
Police said the person had suffered “obvious head trauma” and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office will release the person’s identity once it is confirmed and their next of kin is notified.
While the cause and circumstances surrounding the person’s death remain under investigation, police said “preliminary findings suggest there is a strong likelihood that the individual fell from the ground level to the lower level of the parking entrance.”
The case, for now, is being investigated as an “unattended death,” according to police.
