February 13, 2008
A 76-year-old woman who collapsed in the University Union on Friday died, said University Police Lt. Dan Davis.
The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office had no information on the time of death or the cause.
The woman, whose name was not released by officials because of family concerns, was coming out of the bathroom near the Recreation Sports counter in the University Union when she collapsed Friday.
The University Police received a call reporting the collapse at 12:02 p.m., and an on-site officer arrived at the scene at 12:03 p.m., Davis said.
The Sacramento Fire Department was contacted when the University Police officer and a nurse were unable to locate a pulse.
Paramedics began treating the woman upon arrival and transported her to Sutter Memorial Hospital.
The Sacramento Fire Department could not be reached for comment.
