A woman fell to her death Saturday afternoon near Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland, police said.



At 12:46 p.m., officers were called to a building on Southwest Yamhill Street, between Sixth Avenue and Broadway, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson, a police spokesman. There they found the body of a woman.



Officials have not determined whether the woman jumped or fell by accident, though they say there are no indications of foul play. Simpson said witness accounts suggest she fell at least five stories.



The medical examiner is investigating, police said. As of 2:30 p.m., only two patrol cars remained, and there was no other sign of what transpired.

The death comes six months after a Hillsboro woman jumped from the top of the nearby Standard Insurance Center, narrowly missing two pedestrians on Southwest Salmon Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues.
