A woman who suffered life-threatening injuries after a fall from height at a Norwich shopping centre is in 'the early stages of recovery', police have confirmed.
The woman, who is in her 40s but who has not been named, was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge after she fell at Castle Quarter, formerly Castle Mall in Norwich.
The spokesman said an investigation into the incident found "there is no indication that the female was subjected to any criminal act, or that any third party was involved".
Following the incident a large police cordon was put in place while enquiries were carried out.
It meant some shops were unable to open the following morning, Saturday, September 30, as the cordon was in place until around 11am.
Rob Bradley, centre manager for Castle Quarter, said the centre's security team "arrived at the scene quickly and performed first aid until the emergency services arrived".
"We are extremely grateful to our team members who responded so quickly, calmly and professionally to assist the person and support the emergency services throughout the night."
In March 2014 Luther Benjamin Hughes, 39, of Music House Lane, died from multiple injuries following a fall from an upper balcony at the Castle Mall.
His death, on March 6 2014, came less than a year after Matthew Dunham, 25, formerly of Spixworth, died in similar circumstances on May 9, 2013.
At his inquest then Norfolk coroner William Armstrong criticised the Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health Trust for 'fundamental deficiencies' in the way it treated Mr Dunham.
He said support had been 'fragmented and uncoordinated' with mental health staff not aware they were treating Mr Dunham at the same time, and therefore not sharing information.
