Bothell woman who died in base-jumping fall is ID'd
Bothell woman who died from a jump off Mount Baring has been identified.
A Bothell woman who died while base-jumping near Stevens Pass has been identified as Aude-Marianne Beretucchi, 32, of Bothell.
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office said she died of blunt-force injuries when she fell 800 feet from Mount Baring off Highway 2.
She died when her parachute failed to open around noon Sunday, said Rick Hawkins, a spokesman with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office. She jumped ahead of her husband. He told authorities he heard a pop of her parachute, but didn't see her come out from behind a cliff.
The couple was base-jumping, which is the sport of using a parachute to jump from a fixed object, such as a building or a mountain. "Base" is an acronym for categories of objects from which participants jump: building, antenna, span and earth.
Mount Baring is a 6,000-foot mountain just northeast of the Skykomish River and Highway 2.
