40 year old Beverly Rodriguez exemplified the very best of public service through her tireless dedication to the Metro Transit Police Department’s Homeless Action Team.

That's according to a statement released by Metro Transit on her passing.

Washington County authorities say that Rodriguez was out with friends on White Bear Lake when she jumped off and didn't resurface.

Crews found her after about 40 and she was taken to Region's hospital where she died.
