[quote user="ChuckHawkins"] <p>In looking at a picture of the bridge, posted by doublestack, the planking is rather substantial and their is a protective pipe railing along the walkway side. I would think there is much more to come out of this investigation beside a simple "missing" timber that created an opening large enough for someone to fall through.</p><p>Like most initial reports that seem to inevitably be woefully inaccurate, I await the followup. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>The latest info from a Stillwater newspaper is she fell from the middle of the bridge onto an island 150 ft. below:</p><p><a href="http://www.examiner.com/a-1531638~Woman_found_dead_at_foot_of_railroad_bridge.html">http://www.examiner.com/a-1531638~Woman_found_dead_at_foot_of_railroad_bridge.html</a></p><p>Another snippet from the Stillwater Gazette claims Washington County officials are now "looking at the death" as an accident (a rather <u>uselessly-short</u> write-up):</p><p><a href="http://www.topix.com/city/stillwater-mn/2008/08/washington-county-officials-consider-death-of-woman-an-accident">http://www.topix.com/city/stillwater-mn/2008/08/washington-county-officials-consider-death-of-woman-an-accident</a></p><p>There is a related link to a story in the Minneapolis Red Star Tribune that provides some background info.</p>
