April 7, 2017

Two teenage girls fell to their death from the balcony of the Camelot by the Sea Hotel in the resort town of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Foul play is not suspected.

According to CBS News:

Authorities say two teenage girls fell to their deaths from the 18th-floor balcony of a beachfront hotel in South Carolina. Horry County Coroner Robert Edge says 16-year-old Daniela Flores fell to a 10th-floor parking deck, while 17-year-old Amber Franco’s body was found on the roof of a ground-level Dunkin’ Donuts. The hotel has 18 floors.

Myrtle Beach Police Lt. Joey Crosby tells news outlets someone called 911 to report seeing the girls fall Wednesday at the Camelot By the Sea Hotel. Crosby says both teens were students at Myrtle Beach High School, which is on spring break this week.

Myrtle Beach High School Principal John Washburn said both girls were in honors classes and were well-liked. Counselors were brought in to the school on Thursday and will continue to be available for students and teachers.

Crosby says authorities do not suspect foul play, but don’t know yet exactly what prompted the falls.
