She was living in a society with her husband and two children.
Police said this may be a case of suicide or accident, and no foul play has been suspected in the post-mortem.
Inspector Sandeep (single name), station house officer of Sector 53 police station, said that the woman was undergoing medication for mental ailments.
“Either she died by suicide or fell after losing balance. Suspicion of falling after losing balance has cropped up as her damaged mobile phone was also recovered on the ground, along with the body. We are scanning CCTV footage of the society for clues,” he said, adding that no suicide note was recovered from the apartment or from near the body.
