CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) -- Police say a Caldwell woman who made a false medical emergency call to lure paramedics out of their station made a real 911 call minutes later when she became trapped under the station's garage door.

Melissa R. Farris died Oct. 2 when she was crushed by the garage door at the Canyon County station. Farris was a former paramedic at the station.

Caldwell Police Chief Chris Allgood says Farris suffocated while trying to crawl under the closing door.

Allgood said it may never be known why Farris was trying to gain access the station.
