Woman who died in climbing wall fall identified

Police have identified the woman who fell off a Post Falls climbing wall and died on Friday as 37-year-old Megan C. Mitchell.

Emergency crews were called to the scene around 9:30 p.m. and had to search for Mitchell. Kootenai County Fire and Rescue began medical aid on scene, but the woman suffered major trauma from the fall and was pronounced dead at the scene. There was no indication of foul play.
