A woman who was pulled from Boulder Creek died over the weekend at a hospital.

About 3:30 p.m. Thursday Boulder Fire-Rescue and police received multiple calls about a woman who was “struggling in the creek,” according to a Boulder Police Department news release.

Bystanders pulled the woman to the south side of the creek and began CPR, the release said. Emergency responders arrived and transferred the woman to the north side of the creek where an ambulance took her to a hospital. The 48-year-old woman died over the weekend.

“The initial information indicates that she entered the water to help a family member when she was swept away by the current,” the release stated. “Foul play is not suspected.”

The incident is the city’s fifth water rescue in the past two weeks, according to the release.

Boulder urges water recreationists to be safe and cautious around waterways, which are running, fast, deep and cold with snowmelt from mountains contributing to the flows.
