PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND —An unidentified 35-year-old woman is dead after leaping over the railing of a parking garage at the Providence Place mall on the evening of Thursday, July 16. The woman had earlier been seen taking clothing items off racks and then bringing them to the counter to "return" the items for cash. A female security officer working for the Nordstrom store at the mall followed the woman and attempted to stop her from leaving the store. The suspect, however, went down an escalator and then into a parking garage before going up to the first level of the parking garage, which is located about 25 feet above the ground. Other security officers at the mall reported hearing a voice over the radio ordering someone to stay away from the edge. The edge in question turned out to be the barrier on the wall of the parking garage on to which the suspected shoplifter had climbed. Despite the security officers' attempts to dissuade the woman, for reasons unknown, the suspected shoplifter then leapt from the parking garage. She was taken to Rhode Island Hospital but pronounced dead from massive injuries to the torso. The security guard was temporarily relieved of her duties following the horrific incident but both the store and the mall remained open. Neither the name of the victim nor the name of the security officer have been publicly released, but police say the victim was 35-years-old. No theory has been put forward as yet as to why a suspected shoplifter would make such a drastic choice considering that her crime is not a felony or violent offense. A spokeswoman for Nordstrom said they were cooperating with authorities and called the incident a "tragedy." ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.

Dumb bitch making us look bad
-
What do I think?
Its pretty obvious the store isn't at fault cause this lady obviously made all the right choices in her life. -
She most likely foolishly believed she would survive the fall. I feel pity for this woman, especially If she was desperate to the point that she had to steal.I can even somewhat understand her logic if that was the case. Some employers scrutinze your backgound heavily and if you are desperately searching for a job, then they won't want to hire a convicted thief.

Well she shopped til she dropped. No respect for her
-
She had a criminal record a mile long.
-
It's like a 1,000 ways to die episode in real life lol
-
Regarding my family of this event, apparently when the police went to claim the body and search said body, there were no evidence to prove that she had stolen anything and did police is actually in question why did they chase and demand why they suspected her of shoplifting. After the fall, they searched for the stolen items and they haven't found anything, including her cards and IDs.
The court believes this wasn't a "Suicide.", I don't know if it was or not, and I don't really care if it was.
Please don't comment on this if you're going to argue. -
Ouch tho.
-
Too bad, no respawn for her.
-
Nordstorm, hehe
-
Do a backflip
-
Wow
-
Unless she landed on here head, I'm sort of surprised she didn't survive. 25 feet is not THAT high.
-
