Are there no railings?
Someone would have to go up and over a balcony on the 24th floor.

If she was just messing about on the balcony and a seizure came on, she have lost her grip or her balance.

Police were called rather than an ambulance to someone having a seizure? She recovered from the seizure to meet the police at the elevator, they sent her family away and started arguing with her? No one actually saw what happened on the balcony yet her family claim they know what happened? This is all very bizarre.Family of woman who died in Toronto balcony fall want answers from police
''“Regis, God bless her soul, met the police at the elevator. They separated the family. Police and Regis (were) arguing,” he said. “They wouldn’t let the family enter the unit after (police) entering the unit. Then they come out of the unit. Lied to us to our face and said she climbed to the next unit. How can she climb to the next unit, when we already know she would not do that.”
He said there is wiring set up on some balconies of the building that prevents people from falling. He said she had been asking for that for her unit, but the property management never installed it.''
“Then they have to say they jumped. ‘We’re going to see if she’s in the next apartment building hiding from us.’ They probably threw her off at that time. Knock on the neighbour’s door, play their little game, going in there for five to 10 mins. and come out and tell the family she’s on the ground with no remorse.''

Maybe it's because the family are absolutely adamant that she wouldn't commit suicide because that's what they believe so they are pushing that narrative? They talked about her being a Christian.
Maybe she tried to get away from the police and climbed and fell accidentally.
This is a strange one.

I understand why they believe she would never commit suicide, just not sure why they're so convinced she was pushed rather than fell accidentally trying to climb to the next balcony. I hope there's some sort of footage somewhere that can help find out what happened. It's so awful for her poor family.

Family Alleges Toronto Police Responsible For Black Woman’s Fatal Fall
''In a press conference Thursday, Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders said the force is cooperating with the SIU but legally can’t comment publicly on the case.
“I’ll urge the public to please wait for the facts to come out,” he said.
Saunders said he is concerned about the spread of “misinformation,” in the absence of a detailed statement from police.
He said police were called to the scene for an assault.
“It sounded rather frantic. There was a need for police presence to be there,” he said.''
''The SIU said witnesses can call 1-800-787-8529 and that a post-mortem will be conducted Thursday afternoon.
In a since-deleted video, Korchinski-Paquet’s cousin said Korchinski-Paquet’s mother called police to de-escalate an argument at the apartment.''

Ontario’s police watchdog probing family’s claims that Toronto woman pushed off balcony
''Ontario’s police watchdog says it is aware of the allegations being made online about Toronto police and the circumstances surrounding a 29-year-old woman falling to her death from an apartment building balcony.
Police have not identified the woman, however, neighbours identified her to Global News as Regis Korchinski-Paquet.''
''A memorial has been setup at the apartment building, located at 100 High Park Avenue. A “RIP. Rest In Power” sign along with multiple bouquets of flowers have been placed at the scene.''
A growing memorial has been setup at the site of the incident in the city’s west end.
''Shortly after the incident, videos began to circulate online from people who said they are Korchinski-Paquet’s family, alleging that police pushed her off the balcony.
''In a number of videos posted to social media from user @rocaworld, who says he is Korchinski-Paquet’s cousin, appears to be at the scene of the incident and alleges police “threw my female cousin off the building.”
