Woman falls to death at Spanish Steps

(ANSA) - Rome, August 29 - A 19-year-old woman fell to her death from the roof of a convent at Rome's famed Spanish Steps Friday.
    The Pole, who had been a guest at the convent for two days, fell off the top of the motherhouse of the Congregazione della Resurrezione nuns in via di San Sebastianello.
    Police investigations have confirmed that the woman and her cousin, 22, had returned at dawn from a night of drinking in the historic centre, and continued to drink alcoholic beverages on the terrace of the convent, when the girl fell over the 1.5-metre balcony guardrail.
    Police are for the moment viewing the case as an accident and an autopsy will be performed in the coming days, perhaps as early as Saturday.
