Associated Press

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. – A woman fell to her death while trying to do a handstand on the railing of a second-floor hotel balcony, sheriff’s officials said.

Molly Jerman, 23, of Cape Coral, died Sunday.

While attempting a handstand, she toppled over and dropped to the hotel patio, according to the Lee County sheriff’s department.

Just before she fell, she had called out to a friend, “Watch to see what I can still do,” a police report said.

Foul play is not believed to be involved, officials said.
