The woman who jumped to her death Monday from the Hoover Dam bypass bridge has been identified as a Boulder City resident.
The Clark County Coroner’s Office said the deceased was Colleen Tyler, 51. The cause and manner of her death are still pending.
Metro Police responded to a call that a woman had jumped from the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge at 11:59 a.m. Monday, said Metro spokesman Marcus Martin. About 30 minutes after the call, a Tyler's body was found in the water near the base of Portal Road, Martin said.
Tyler is the fourth person to jump from the bridge, which opened in October 2010. The last suicide on the bridge occurred earlier this month when 39-year-old North Las Vegas resident Jacob Gerard Foreman jumped to his death.
