W Hotel death probably a suicide

The Washington Post is reporting that the woman who fell from the W Hotel rooftop last night, and was pronounced dead on the scene, probably committed suicide.

Witnesses reportedly saw the woman hanging by her hands from an overhang below the rooftop at about 11:00 p.m.  While the death is still under investigation, one D.C. official told the Post, "It looked like it's going to be [ruled] a suicide."

The woman was 47 years old, and as of this afternoon, police still had not located her next of kin.
