Waukegan woman died in fall from high-rise apartment building

A Waukegan woman was killed Wednesday night in a fall from her high-rise apartment, the Lake County Coroner’s office said.

Authorities identified her as Chiquita Quinn, 34, a resident of the Lakeside Tower Apartments in the 200 block of Julian Street.

Waukegan police said they do not suspect foul play in her death.

Emergency responders said Quinn was not breathing when they arrived at around 9:42 p.m. Quinn lived on the 10th floor of the tower, and authorities think she jumped from her apartment.

An autopsy showed her death was consistent with injuries from the fall, the coroner’s office said.

The coroner’s office reminded people that anyone experiencing emotional distress can call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for support at any time.
