Authorities have released the name of a woman who fell to her death Saturday afternoon at Horton Plaza.
In an earlier story - http://www.examiner.com/x-833-San-Diego-News-Examiner~y2009m7d26-Woman-dies-after-fall-from-Horton-Plaza-balcony it was reported that the death was being investigated as a possible suicide.
Authorities have identified the victim as Colleen Marian Conaway, 46, of Park Rapids, Minn.
Witnesses informed authorities they watched Conaway jump from the third-floor balcony at 1:40 p.m. Saturday.
Conaway reportedly fell to the sidewalk near the movie theaters in the downtown mall. She was taken to UCSD Medical Center, where her death was pronounced shortly upon arrival.

I knew Colleen and there is no way that was a suicide. I hope they investigate further.
My husband and I were shocked by the loss of our friend, Colleen! It is a very sad day. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and to those who love her and to those who were there that day! We pray she has found her peace at last.
she almost landed on top of me when she fell... i can not get the image and the sound of her fall out of my mind. my heart aches for her and those she left behind. i have not been the same since saturday. i have some closure now that i know her name. colleen - i can now pray for you and use your name. may you rest in peace.
On behalf of my family, I want to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers. This tragedy has taken all of us by complete surprise. My aunt was someone completely against suicide and her life was all about being positive.
The only thing different and wrong in her life now was her envolvement with the James Arther Ray seminars. We are investigating this and I urge anyone with a family member involved with this guy to strongly question them about the goings on of this organization. Both on a personal and a financial level.
Again, thank you to everyone for thier kind words and prayers; they mean a LOT to us in our time of grief
I have been working with Colleen for years now and I agree that this doesnt make any sense as a suicide. Further investigation is needed. This isnt fair to anyone who had the opportunity to be involved in this wonderful womans life.
I think the group lead by James Arthur Ray has something to do with Colleen's death. She was there attending a seminar. They use a tactic called Large Group Awareness Training to brainwash participants. Please do further investigation into this.
