Here is the whole story:
ORLANDO, Fla. — An Alabama woman died after she fell 15 feet from an apartment balcony, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Jessica Ashley Hawkins, 20, asked two friends to take her to the hospital after she struck the ground headfirst Thursday evening. Hawkins was attempting a handstand from the balcony when she fell.
Hawkins lost consciousness in the car on the way to the hospital, according to a sheriff's
incident report. She was taken to Winter Park Hospital, transferred to the Orlando Regional Medical Center and died at 11:35 p.m., according to the report.
"This really is a tragedy," sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said. "Both of the young lady's friends were very, very distraught."
Hawkins -- a former University of Central Florida student -- was visiting her boyfriend when she fell, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
"What this was was a gathering of friends. The investigation revealed nothing had gotten out of hand," Solomons said. "By all appearances, this is just a very, very tragic accident."
Ok now time for the crass and heartless commets, what in the hell was she thinking when she started to do this hand stand on the balcony? I am sorry that her friends have to go through this but this is a perfect Darwin Award if I have ever seen one. On top of doing something that was extremely stupid, her friends then moved her and attempted to transport her to the hospital and that is probably what helped lead to her death. You never move someone who has fallen that sort of distance and you 100% of the time NEVER EVER move someone who has fallen on her head.
