(ANSA) - Pisa, May 15 - A 40-year-old woman has committed
suicide by jumping from the fourth ring of the Leaning Tower of
Pisa after climbing over a two-meter high protective barrier,
police said.
The woman, who was originally from Rome and lived in the
northern Tuscan town of Pisa with her husband, left no note
before leaping to her death on Monday evening.
Four people have killed themselves by jumping from the
monument in the last two years, all of them women, police said.
Investigators do not believe that the death is related to
the number of people whose suicides have been linked to the
current economic crisis, estimated to be one a day since the
beginning of 2012.
