A 53-year-old woman was found dead on a sidewalk Saturday in the Loop.

Officers responded to a call of an emergency about 9:30 a.m. in the first block of North Wabash Avenue and found Cynthia Altoe Vargas Bugane unresponsive, Chicago police and the Cook county medical examiner’s office said. Paramedics pronounced her dead on the scene.

She lived a few blocks away from where she was found. An autopsy conducted later by the medical examiner’s office ruled her death a suicide due to a fall from height.

Area Central detectives were conducting a death investigation, police said.
