Olympic judo silver medalist Claudia Heill of Austria commits suicide at 29
VIENNA - The Austrian judo federation says former Olympic judo silver medalist Claudia Heill of Austria has committed suicide by jumping out of a sixth-story window in central Vienna. She was 29.

The federation said in a statement that "nobody could foresee this act of desperation." It did not provide further details.

Federation president Hans Paul Kutschera told national broadcaster ORF on Thursday that Heill "was a very active person. Everyone who knew her is devastated."

Heill won silver in the under-63 kilogram category at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
