The death of a 63-year-old woman who was struck by a CTA Red Line train Saturday morning in the North Side Wrigleyville neighborhood has been ruled a suicide.

Cook, of the 3500 block of North Walton, was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 8:15 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

An autopsy found she died of multiple blunt force injuries from being struck by the train, and her death was ruled a suicide.
