TAMPA — Tampa police were investigating the death of a woman Friday morning who was found dead near the County Center parking garage.

The woman, whom police have not yet identified, apparently jumped from the parking garage at Pierce and Jackson streets, police said.

Police received a 911 call about the incident at 9:47 a.m. The woman, whom police say is 65, landed just off the sidewalk near a tree, a few feet away from the parking garage. Officials removed her body, which lay on the street covered by a white tarp, as detectives interviewed witnesses.

Detectives at the scene are still investigating the woman's death, saying they were unsure whether it was a jump, fall or a homicide. The 10-story parking garage is across the street from the County Center.

Police have blocked off traffic on Pierce and Jackson streets.
