Woman Dies after Fall from Hotel Room: MyFoxATLANTA.com
ATLANTA (AP) — A 30-year-old woman died on her birthday and another woman was seriously injured when they plunged from a 10th-story hotel window at a hotel early Saturday morning, investigators said.
Witnesses told police that 30-year-old Lashawna Threatt and second woman were “play wrestling” in a room at the W Midtown Hotel around 3:15 a.m. when they crashed into a window and fell four or five stories onto a slanted glass ceiling above a sunroom.
“They were play wrestling and the next thing you know, they went toward the window and through the window and out they went,” said Lt. Paul Guerrucci, commander of the Atlanta Police Department’s homicide unit.
Witnesses told cops the petite women were merely horsing around before they fell out of the window about 3:15 a.m.
“According to the witnesses, there was no arguing during the hours leading up to this, either, so it’s really a tragic accident,” Guerrucci said.
Threatt, who appeared at liquor promotions and in print ads, leaves behind a 15-year-old daughter.
“She was extremely charismatic. She could talk to anyone,” said her pal, Jomarys Castillo.
