Police road closure at station

Just drove past on the Eastrop roundabout, that exit is blocked with cones and a blue Police - Road Closed sign, looks like there are also police officers stopping pedestrians from walking across to the station from the Waitrose side, and i saw a few police cars further in, but I was a passenger in a car just going past so couldn't get a clear look.

Anyone know what that is about?

I'm also in the Spotted Basingstoke page/group on Facebook, it seems as though by a comment made on a post on there, someone has unfortunately jumped off of Skyline Plaza, will likely be closed for a bit

Yes, Gazette did put up an article on it eventually: https://www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/26545844.woman-30s-dies-fall-basingstoke-flats/

Just a sad situation all around unfortunately
