Officials are calling for more safety measures after a woman died falling between rooftops during a party in the East Village early Saturday morning.
A NYPD spokesperson tells Gothamist that the incident happened around 3:10 a.m. Saturday when Cameron Perrelli, 23, fell to her death from the seventh floor roof of 202 Avenue A, near East 12th Street. Officials say she was trying to climb over to 200 Avenue A during a rooftop birthday party when she fell down an airspace between the two buildings. She was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
