Other guests at the party told police that LaShawna was "play fighting" with Ciara Williams, a close friend, when the two crashed through the hotel room window, several local news outlets reported.
It was about 3:15 am Saturday, and the women both fell onto the roof of the sun room ten floors below but Ciara rolled off and landed on the hotel's patio area.
LaShawna was pronounced dead at the scene while Ciara, a professional dancer, is currently in Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition.
"It appears there was no malicious act, no foul play, they were just wrestling each other. They hit the window, the window broke and they fell out," said Atlanta Police Lt. Paul Guerrucci.

LaShawna, who modeled for an Atlanta based promotions company and was a well-known local personality, leaves behind a 15-year-old daughter.

This story just isn't hanging right. What two women play wrestle and do it in a violent enough manner to go out a hotel window? Men, maybe, although even then I'd find the scenario weird. But women? No way.

Something is not right here. Look for Nancy Grace and her expert legal panel to analyze with a filler story in between the Casey Anthony trial.

There's obviously a cover-up here. They were drunk and fighting. Windows at a "swanky hotel" don't break easily!!! And how can she be a "popular model" when we never heard of her?!?!

Perhaps there are cameras in this hotel which caught everything?

@NurseE, if you think there's juvenile commentary on a story as sad as this, you should check out the commentary on other stories on ROL. New show called H8R coming out CW would have a field day with
some of these people.

IDIOTS!!!! If these women had been acting their age & behaving like ladies & not like the Real Housewives of Atlanta or Basketball Wives, this wouldn't have happened. I am sincerely sorry for LaShawna's 16-year old daughter.
