A month ago, two women fell from a W hotel in Atlanta; one died. Now another woman has been killed in a fall from a W hotel—this one in Washington, DC, Gawker reports. She had been drinking at the rooftop bar and climbed over a fence, witnesses said, ending up “hanging by her hands from an overhang one story below the rooftop around 11pm.” She plunged 10 stories and was declared dead on the spot.
