Colonel Thomas G. Dresner, chief ranger of the Missouri State Park Rangers.
Witnesses told park rangers that Schramm
‘seemed to indicate she was hesitant’ to jump.
Dresner said that water is deep enough there to avoid hitting the the rocks below, but she fell so close to the edge that she ‘ended up hitting her head on a rock shelf that was slightly below the surface of the water.’ She suffered a head injury and was pronounced dead at the scene, Dresner said.
Visitors ignore no trespassing signs
Dresner said there had been signs warning visitors not to go in the area where she fell.
