Model Dead After Falling Out Window on 30th Birthday

Aspiring model LaShawna Threatt’s 30th birthday turned tragic yesterday when she plunged from the 10th story window of an Atlanta hotel. Threatt, mom to a 15-year-old girl, was “play fighting” with Ciara Williams at her birthday party when they crashed through a thick window at around 3:15am, police say. Threatt died after landing on a sunroof four or five stories down; Williams rolled off the sunroof and fell another 20 feet. She is in critical condition, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

"LaShawna is a mess, a silly goofball. She likes to play fight and tickle you. They had just gotten in the hotel and were having a good time," says a friend who did not attend the party. "My friends who were there, said it was so random. They literally just fell out the window. They are two small girls and I am trying to figure out how the hell two small girls could break a window like that." Police say there was no “malicious act” or foul play and are investigating it as an accident. (More Atlanta stories.)
