Folks,

As you may have heard, yesterday around 9 a.m., a homeless woman gained access to our 213 parking structure, and jumped from the 4th floor. The woman was taken to LA County/USC Medical Center, and I am sorry to report she passed away late yesterday. No additional information is available to us. It is very sad, and we should keep this person and others who need help in our thoughts. I felt it was important to share what happened.

David
