A woman died after falling down the stairs of her New York apartment building and out of an open window between the fifth and six floors Thursday night.

From the New York Post:

The tragedy happened at about 8:30 p.m. as the unidentified woman was on a staircase in an Inwood apartment building.

She somehow slipped between the sixth and fifth floors and tumbled out an open window.

First responders found her at the rear of the building and declared her dead.

Initial reports said she may have jumped, but cops say they believe she accidentally fell.

I’d never considered something like this as a possible way to die, so one more thing to worry about now, I guess. Damn.
