An Alexandria woman fell to her death from the rooftop lounge of the swanky W hotel near the White House, D.C. officials said. A witness said the woman had been drinking at one of the hotel bars before she climbed the railing that surrounds the rooftop lounge late Wednesday. She was hanging from the railing before she fell nearly 10 stories to her death.
Police are investigating.
Authorities have identified the woman as 47-year-old Stephanie Huebner, of Alexandria.
The W has hosted numerous U.S. presidents and celebrities, and is where Elvis is said to have met with President Nixon and asked to be a federal agent.
