LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A fall that killed a 38-year-old Lincoln woman has been called an accident, authorities said.

Officers had gone to the woman's home around 1 p.m. Saturday to check a call about a disturbance. As officers talked to someone on one side of the house, neighbors told them someone was coming out a second-story window on another side.

The woman fell from the ladder she was using and struck her head, police said. It's unclear why she was using the ladder to get down from the second-floor window.

The woman died at a Lincoln hospital Saturday night. She has been identified as Ralonda Schulte.
