The Alameda County Coroner's Office has identified the woman whose body was found in the brush near the East Dublin/Pleasanton BART station parking structure Thursday afternoon.

Joy Ann Grammatica, 48, of Livermore was pronounced dead at the scene. A coroner's report says the death was due to "multiple blunt force trauma" consistent with a jump from the parking garage.

"We're investigating it as a suicide," a coroner's office spokeswoman said.

The woman's name was withheld Thursday until family members were contacted.

A BART police lieutenant said someone called police about a body in the bushes around 12:30 p.m. Thursday. The body was discovered just feet from the large BART parking structure on the Dublin side.

A LinkedIn profile page lists Joy Grammatica as an implementation manager at Verizon in the San Francisco Bay Area and shows she had been with the company since 2006.

Her Twitter page description says she is from Livermore and a mother. She last posted a tweet in April.

Why a suicide...She could have thrown off the parking lot building.

Why not investigate all options. Sounds kind of stupid to lean towards suicide only or am I assuming wrong or is the author of this article putting assuming wrong. And what is that BS about the coroner's comment that the death is due to, "multiple blunt force trauma" consistent with a jump...WHAT A STUPID COMMENT. I think he/she meant consistent with a FALL...How in the hell does the corner know Joy Ann jumped or she may have been thrown or pushed off the building.

Very poor reporting.....

Thank for Listening, Julia Pardini from Alamo

they're investigating it as a suicide, which would be consistent with -- wait for it -- a fall...
