Claremont police have launched an inquest after a 46-year-old woman tragically lost her life at Cavendish Square Shopping Centre on Monday evening.
Officers arrived at the scene around 8:10pm following reports of a disturbance and discovered the woman, who was pronounced dead by medical personnel on site. An autopsy is planned to confirm the exact cause of death, though initial reports suggest she may have jumped from one of the centre's upper levels.
Eyewitnesses described hearing a loud thud followed by a scream before bystanders found the woman near the Exclusive Books and Seattle Coffee area on the bottom floor, as per Netwerk24 .
