The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) says it has concluded its investigation into the death of a young girl who fell from a high-rise balcony in Yaletown last month.
Officers were called to a residential building near Nelson Street and Expo Boulevard just after 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 11.

“We received reports of a child who fell from a high-rise balcony onto a lower-level balcony in a residential building,” VPD Const. Tania Visintin said at the time.
First responders tried to save her life, but the eight-year-old girl, died at the scene.
In a statement Thursday, police say criminality was not a factor in her death.
“The November 11 fall was the result of a tragic accident.”
A fundraiser to support the girl’s surviving family has raised over $50,000.
Organizers of the GoFundMe remember the girl as a “beautiful, loving, and kind little soul who brought joy to everyone around her.”
