The police have identified the person as a 35-year-old woman from the Berlin area. Witnesses saw the woman step out on a platform outside the fence from where she fell down.

Based on investigations, including questioning of witnesses, the police conclude that this incident is a suicide.

The police have examined the place carefully at the assistance of The Danish Working Environment Service, and the investigation has not given rise to any remarks from the service regarding the construction of the tower.
