In a statement released Wednesday by the San Diego Police Department, authorities say a woman who fell to her death at the Padres’ Petco Park while holding her 2-year-old son died by suicide, according to ESPN’s Elizabeth Merrill. The child’s death was ruled a homicide.
Raquel Wilkins, 40, fell while holding her son, Denzel Browning-Wilkins, before a game between the Padres and Braves on Sept. 25.
Detectives working the case reached their conclusion after conducting a “thorough and comprehensive investigation that included dozens of interviews, reviewing of available video footage, and collecting background information to determine what led to the deaths,” per the statement. San Diego police do not plan on releasing any further information.
