A hospital spokesman said on Wednesday that Birck was in satisfactory condition and was to be transferred out of intensive care and into a regular hospital room. No information on Birck’s specific injuries was available Wednesday.

Sgt. Larry Eaton said a follow-up investigation has not been assigned concerning the incident.

I really don’t know what there would be to follow up on, Eaton said.

On Monday, Sgt. Steve Ellis said there was no indication of alcohol or drug abuse at the time of the incident, and no cause for Birck’s jump was given in the report.
