Overview
- The King County Medical Examiner said 21-year-old Dayanara Nicole Urbina Ruiz died from multiple blunt-force injuries after an accidental fall from an open apartment window.
- Officials say the fall occurred at the Trailside Seattle Apartments next to the Burke-Gilman Trail, and Seattle police responded to the scene on July 30.
- Published 911 audio and dispatcher notes describe a friend trying to restrain an apparently intoxicated person outside the building shortly before the fall.
- Urbina Ruiz’s family rejects the picture of heavy intoxication, says witnesses have given inconsistent accounts of who was present, and wants a more detailed probe of the circumstances.
- Her sorority, classmates and Amazon colleagues have paid tribute and the family has launched a fundraiser to cover funeral expenses while the company says it is offering support to staff and family.
