Former Fox News producer Julianne Rolle was found dead at the bottom of a cliff in Rancho Palos Verde, California this weekend.

Rolle, who TVNewser reports left Fox News "a few years ago," was a producer for the network in New York and bureau chief in Iraq, according to her father. She was said to be devastated over the recent death of her mother, and it is unclear whether her death was accidental or suicide.

"I think she fell," he father Eugene Rolle said. "I knew she was feeling really emotional. She took off and didn't come home. It cuts so deep. It's such a tragedy at her young age....She's been through war zones and everything, but nothing like losing her mom. I think she was (standing on the cliff) because she was very emotional. She went there often for peace, for calming and centering."

Update: Investigators have ruled Rolle's death a suicide:

Based on investigators' interviews with family members, the doctor ruled her death a suicide because she was severely depressed and because of where her body was found.

"When you go to these locations, you don't go for the view," Corral said, of the 100-foot-high cliff where Rolle reportedly jumped off.

1. hmmm, Many state and federal parks feature cliffs

and will go out of their way to point out the stunning views available at them.

Now while I won't pass judgement on this particular case I object to the statement you don't go there for the view.

2. I know the location. I have been there many times. I knew someone

else who jumped to their death there.
Perhaps different people go there for different reasons.
I never went to jump.
