A 24-year-old woman was found late Saturday night hanging from the balcony of a home on Mabel Court in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood.

The woman, identified by the Cuyahoga County Medical examiner as Megan Springsteel, was one of several violent deaths over the Thanksgiving weekend.

As for Megan Springsteel, officers arrived on the scene about 1 a.m. Sunday morning. Police will continue to investigate the death. The Medical Examiner's office told Scene Monday that there has not yet been a ruling as to cause of death.
