19-year-old woman named Leah Palmirotto died after falling from the roof of an old, abandoned building in Atlanta, Georgia..
She was with friends exploring the building at night (around 1 a.m.). They climbed over a fence to enter, despite it being fenced off with “no trespassing” signs.
The building is on Emory University’s Briarcliff campus. Built in the 1960s as the Georgia Mental Health Institute (a psychiatric hospital), it closed years ago.
It is famous for being used as the exterior (and some interior) of Hawkins National Laboratory in the Netflix show Stranger Things
She was pronounced dead at the scene. Police are investigating, but it appears to be an accident during urban exploring (visiting abandoned places).
