DENVER (AP) — Authorities have identified the woman who was killed by a tree that fell during a powerful windstorm that swept through the Denver area and much of Colorado earlier this week.
The Boulder County Coroner’s Office identified the Lafayette woman as 62-year-old Lucinda Spencer who died at a hospital Wednesday.
Authorities say Spencer was moving into an apartment in Louisville Tuesday afternoon. She had stopped to rest under the tree when a branch struck her head.
The coroner’s office says the cause and manner of her death are still being examined.
