The name of a woman who was killed after falling off her 14th-floor balcony has been released.

Linda Emms, 67, was cleaning her balcony and her windows Friday at the Salt Lake Senior Citizen High Rise, near 1900 South and 200 East, when she apparently fell from her balcony. Police believe the fall was an accident.

A cleaning to-do list was found in the woman's apartment and a broom was found next to her body. Police were unsure whether the woman had been standing on the railing or a stool to clean her windows.
