UPDATE: A tragic incident unfolded in Rancho Bernardo on Monday when a woman was found unresponsive next to her vehicle. Initial reports suggested a suspicious death, but the San Diego Police Department has confirmed that her death is no longer considered suspicious following an autopsy.
At approximately 2:36 PM, emergency responders arrived on the scene to discover the victim lying on the ground, exhibiting visible injuries, including bleeding from a head wound. Initial assessments led authorities to call in the Homicide Unit due to the circumstances surrounding her death. A police spokesperson stated, “She was lying next to a vehicle and bleeding from her head,” raising immediate concerns.
As detectives canvassed the area for potential leads and reviewed surveillance footage, the situation took a pivotal turn.

Preliminary findings indicate that her death was “medical in nature, and not as a result of foul play,” as reported by the San Diego Police Department.
This sudden shift from a potential criminal investigation to a medical inquiry serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life. While law enforcement has reassured the public that the inquiry remains open, they emphasize there is no ongoing threat to the community.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward. Individuals can reach out directly to the Homicide Unit or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously.
