SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A 19-year-old woman was killed after she fell out of a 60-foot tree.

It happened Monday night.

Police say the woman's mother last talked to her daughter around 4:30 in the afternoon. Officers say the teen's mother went back outside again at around 7 p-m. That's when she found her daughter lying on the ground dead.

Police say the girl appeared to have fallen out of the tree and hit her head on some rocks.

Police say the incident appears accidental. However, an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause and whether drugs or alcohol were involved.
